UK Power Networks Training on LAEP+ for Community Energy Groups

Learn how to use the LAEP+Planning Tool

Ever wanted to find out what your local Grid capacity is to inform your roll out plans for low carbon technologies?, Or maybe you want to develop a deployment plan, model the carbon and cost benefits, and engage with relevant stakeholders all in one platform.

LAEP+ is an award-winning web-based net zero and decarbonisation planning tool that is free to use for local authorities and their collaborators in UK Power Networks licence area.

LAEP+ allows you to view a wide range of datasets from both UK Power Networks and a variety of authoritative sources and helps community energy groups, local authorities, energy network operators, and anyone else planning to connect to the Grid at scale to identify optimum locations to deploy low-carbon technologies or plan region-wide energy transitions.

Join Joe and Matt from UK Power Networks Distribution System Operator (DSO) for this FREE training session on how to use the LAEP+ planning tool to check your local Grid capacity, and bring a real life case study from a project you are working on to see how it works in practice.

What you will learn on this training

Data overlays: Overlay dozens of LAEP+ datasets including PV potential, public transport accessibility, EV utilisation, EPC, UPRNs, and more. Access electricity network capacity information.

Overlay, analyse, and export: Create custom maps populated with multiple datasets and run browser-based analysis to identify and evidence the suitability of different sites for low-carbon energy installations.

Filter and shortlist: Search and filter across the map to triage potential sites and shortlist opportunities. Optimise site selection by network capacity, building type, heating need, income, fuel poverty, demographic, and more. Download shortlists of addresses that meet your criteria.

In-browser analytics: Translate climate action plans into specific projects and volumes of assets, baseline current potential for low-carbon technologies, and view data as exportable charts, graphs, tables, and maps to build your case for an energy efficiency campaign, or flag areas that may not be able to decarbonise as quickly as others.
