Assessment:<br />

Likely that the project will deliver significant financial benefits in the long term (ED2 and beyond) to the<br />

majority of customers<br />

Evidence summary:<br />

The financial benefits are associated with the deferral of reinforcement due to fault level constraints. The<br />

benefit varies depending on which fault level mitigation method is used. Benefits are also obtained due to<br />

the facilitation of connection of CHP plants in central Birmingham. Learning associated with fault level<br />

management could be beneficial to all customers in the long term.<br />
