Volume data for Low Carbon Technologies (LCTs) under 1MW connected to UK Power Networks, aggregated by Primary Substation. Examples include electric vehicle charge points and solar photovoltaic installations. The dataset is provided by the Greater London Authority and was last updated on 2026-06-24.
Use Cases
- Forecast local grid capacity needs based on the volume of low-carbon technology connections.
- Analyze the geographic distribution of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
- Model the growth of distributed solar PV generation within a specific power network.
- Assess the penetration of small-scale low-carbon technologies by primary substation area.
Strengths
- Focuses on low-carbon technologies under 1MW, a specific and relevant scale for distributed energy.
- Aggregated by Primary Substation, which is a key unit for grid planning and analysis.
- Explicitly mentions concrete examples like electric vehicle charge points and solar PV.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-06-24).
