Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution is proposing to implement measures to allow its customers to receive power from a neighbouring DNO during outages caused by storms. In its submission to Ofgem’s uncertainty mechanism launched in the wake of Storm Arwen, SSEN is seeking £10.5 million to develop five projects which it says will make its network more resilient to severe weather. SSEN has requested £100,000 from the regulator to develop cross DNO interconnection which would be deployed in remote sites close to its border with SP Energy Network’s licence area.
