We’re excited to announce the release of a range of new datasets and functionality in Your Local Net Zero Hub.
Projects.
A much requested feature: you can now replace default cost and carbon assumptions in Projects with your own. Simply go to Projects and click ‘Manage Templates’ to start creating your own custom cost and carbon assumption templates. Read more: Creating custom cost and carbon templates.
We’ve also made a few usability improvements: the buttons to edit and delete assets once placed are now easier to find and the network headroom slider with save state when you navigate into your Projects - making it easier to deploy assets in locations with spare capacity.
Planning Progress.
This brand new tracker can be used to monitor how many Projects and Scenarios your local authority has made and how many have been shared with your Distribution Network Operator. Want to know how to share plans with your Distribution Network Operator? Read our how-to guide: Sharing Plans with Your Network Operator.
Select ‘best fit’ DFES scenario.
Not got a full decarbonisation plan yet? It is still valuable to provide feedback on your Network Operator’s Distribution Future Energy Scenarios for your local authority. You can explore these and select a ‘best fit’ DFES Scenario for your area.
Flexibility
'Flexibility' is the ability to change generation or consumption patterns to support the electricity system. UK Power Networks are proud to offer the most accessible flexibility procurement in Britain. In order to participate, you need to be connected to the right part of the network. You can view the postcode zones we most recently looked to secure flexibility for in Your Local Net Zero Hub in the 'Flexibility' data folder and the accompanying Resources > Use Case > Flexibility article.
News & Events.
We’re still running fortnightly training sessions where we deep dive into different features on Your Local Net Zero Hub. Check our upcoming and past events in Your Local Net Zero Hub > Resources > News & Events
Along with some general enhancements and bug fixes. As always, you can find ‘how-to’ guides and video guides in the Your Local Net Zero Hub Knowledgebase, as well as Live Chat support.
