AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Involvement of other partners and external funding 4 Assessment: The project involved some external partners covering some of the main technical /commercial / stakeholder aspects as applicable. Evidence: The summary of the LCNF funds learning EATL report does not highlight any partners. However, the LCH; Full Submission Pro-forma does note some external collaborators and partners: • A FACTs provider who will supply, implement, commission, operate and maintain the FACTs device and network filters. • Distributed generators • Local authority • Fundamentals Ltd, who is a technical partner. From the closedown report: • A S&C 3.75 MVAr PureWave DStatcom device was supplied and used in the project. Exact details of the provider who installed and will maintain are not clear in the closedown report. • Fundamentals Ltd supported the development of the DVC method due to their detailed knowledge of Voltage Control relays. They created the DVC algorithm for both hardwired and DNP3 control. • Connections were offered to 34 DG and accepted by 5. • May be limited involvement of the LA, but was a workshop to over 90 local authority planners. Overall, it appears that there are two main technical partners covering equipment provision and part of the project design. From the full submission pro-forma, it appears that £30,000 of external funding was received from the FACTs provider.

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Relevance and timing 4 Assessment: The project has been / is ready to roll out into BAU. The project has a high likelihood of being replicated by other DNOs. Evidence: The learning from the LCH has shown there is both a significant appetite and opportunities to further implement Alternative Connections across the wider areas to cost effectively unlock further generation capacity. The implementation is most suitable to areas where there are already widespread network constraints, significant demand for further generation connections and diversity between demand and generation profiles. Within Western Power Distribution, Alternative Connections were not previously considered a Business as Usual activity. East Lincolnshire was the first ANM implementation and there has been a commitment to implement Alternative Connections across all four WPD licence areas with 11 new zones opened by 2023. Each will use the Alternative Commercial agreements developed as part of the project. As part of the internal implementation, ANM policies and Standard Techniques have been written for offering alternative connections as a BaU process, WPD’s 200+ planners have been trained how to offer alternative connection offers, and WPD has changed its core database to facilitate the alternative connections. WPD is developing a core constraints analysis tool that will eventually be used for calculating constraints in all ANM areas using the learning generated from the project. At the end of the project, all DNOs have been offered one to one meetings in their offices to further disseminate WPD’s, and their own, learning. In developing WPD’s Alternative Connections, discussions were held with both SSE and UKPN to help coordinate the development and trials of new commercial agreements as part of innovative projects. Importantly, these discussions also helped us and these other DNOs benefit the customer by standardising on new commercial terms and language. The direct feedback from the DNOs and wider stakeholders at WPD’s commercial agreements dissemination events supported this approach. Discussion and feedback indicated that the project appears to have high likelihood of being replicated by other DNOs. References: • Low Carbon Hub project closedown report, 27 th May 2015.
