Title Type Label Description Example
Licence_Area text N/A

License area that the GSP feeds.

East Midlands
GSP_Name text N/A

Name of the Grid Supply Point (GSP).

Berkswell
Connection Asset Reverse Power Limit numeric MVA

Provides the maximum reverse power flow limit through the transmission-distribution boundary transformers that National Grid Electricity Distribution must not exceed beneath, which is achieved via a control scheme (active network management). The result of this active network management system is that customers' generation may be curtailed to control power flow in the reverse direction through these transformers.

TD Boundary Capacity Notes text N/A

Indicator of whether the GSP is part of any Transmission-Distribution (TD) Boundary Customer Connections Reforms, and if so, which phase.

PHASE1A
GSP_Technical_Export_Limit* numeric MW

*Technical limits for GSPs are currently under development and review, therefore the values published here may change. Note that an export limit can be negative and thus net import.

For GSPs that have been assessed for Technical Limits (currently in progress for Phase 1A and Phase 1B GSPs), export and import limits are provided to NGED:

The technical export limits are calculated based on the gross GSP minimum demand (not including contribution from embedded power stations). A single export technical limit is provided here to cover the entire year for the GSP.

A positive number represents an export of power at the connection site, whilst a negative number represents an import of power at the connection site.

GSP_Technical_Import_Limit_Winter** numeric MW

** Technical limits for GSPs are currently under development and review, therefore the values published here may change. The import technical limits may only be applied to energy storage projects connecting using the GSP technical limits.

For GSPs that have been assessed for Technical Limits (currently in progress for Phase 1A and Phase 1B GSPs), export and import limits are provided to NGED:

The technical import limits are calculated based on the net GSP minimum demand (including contribution from embedded power stations). Three different import technical limits are provided here for each GSP to cover different periods in the year:

Winter Technical Limits cover the period December - February of the year.

A positive number represents an export of power at the connection site, whilst a negative number represents an import of power at the connection site.

For GSPs that have been assessed for Technical Limits (currently in progress for Phase 1A and Phase 1B GSPs), export and import limits are provided to NGED:

The technical import limits are calculated based on the net GSP minimum demand (including contribution from embedded power stations). Three different import technical limits are provided here for each GSP to cover different periods in the year:

Summer Technical Limits cover the June - October period of the year.

A positive number represents an export of power at the connection site, whilst a negative number represents an import of power at the connection site.

Access Period Technical Limits cover the March - May and September - November periods of the year.

A positive number represents an export of power at the connection site, whilst a negative number represents an import of power at the connection site.

Site_Type text N/A

Provides the type of site for the GSP. Where:

An Infrastructure site is a GSP with multiple transmission customer connections, E.g. multiple distribution licence areas and/or transmission connected generators.

A Connection site is a GSP with a single transmission customer connection.
