Open Data Portal

Our Open Data Portal features one of the UK's biggest sets of information about the electricity network. The online portal brings together thousands of datasets from a vast range of sources to provide visibility of our network assets, where they are, what capacity they have and how they are being used.

The platform is aimed at helping everyone from local authorities to electric vehicle chargepoint installers, renewable energy generators, flexibility providers and anyone with an interest in low carbon technology. It includes details of nearly 1,000 large-scale energy generation sites connected across London, the South East and East of England in a range of maps and tables.

To offer the best experience we've built the portal on an external platform hosted by OpenDataSoft. This means the portal has a whole host of interactive features for data users, including the ability to layer on thousands of OpenDataSoft's data sets. Visit the portal below or watch our introduction video to learn more.
