Overview of assessment, sources of evidence and comments<br />

Assessment:<br />

The project clearly facilitates the connection of low carbon generation or demand.<br />

The carbon benefits are quantified.<br />

References:<br />

• C2C Project Close down report, 7 August 2015,<br />

• Summary of the LCNF funds learning EATL, April 2016<br />

Evidence summary:<br />

Benefits linked to low carbon energy sector:<br />

• Enables load and generation to be connected without traditional HV and EHV reinforcement<br />

• Defer asset reinforcement<br />

The C2C Solution enables network capacity to be released without traditional reinforcement. thus<br />

facilitating emissions savings from low carbon technologies such as heat pumps and renewable electricity<br />

generation.<br />

“Based on advancing connections by around six months, the C2C Method could directly claim to facilitate<br />

39-67 thousand tCO2e of emissions reductions in Electricity North West network area (depending on how<br />

the capacity is used).”<br />
