AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Has the potential to deliver net financial benefits to future and/or existing customers Generates knowledge that can be shared amongst all DNOs - 5 Assessment: Evidence that the project is highly likely to deliver significant financial benefits in the long term (ED2 and beyond) to the majority of customers. Evidence: The closedown report highlights a reduction in customer energy bills from the South Wales selective voltage reduction deployment. References: • LV Network Templates; Project closedown report. • Summary of the LCNF funds learning EATL, April 2016. Assessment: Specific replication report(s) exist. These cover the main technical / commercial / stakeholder aspects as applicable. A learning dissemination event or webinar was held. Evidence: The project replication section of the closedown report gives a good level of detail relating to physical components or knowledge requirements; Appendix A of the closedown report considers knowledge management which is complementary to the project’s various engineering reports which allow the LV Templates process to be understood and replicated. Network templates data is published in Appendix C of the closedown report. An email is provided for obtaining further information and the lv network templates classification tool is provided on request. A large number of dissemination methods and events were use/held including websites, press releases. Industry conferences and seminars, industry reports, a public engagement company, workshops and direct DNO engagement (particularly at the final stages of the project). Techniques from the project are being used by SPEN ARC.

AN INDEPENDENT <strong>EVALUATION</strong> OF THE LCNF Involvement of other partners and external funding Relevance and timing 5 Effective project methodology, and effectiveness of implementation 4 5 Assessment: The project involved some external partners covering some of the main technical /commercial / stakeholder aspects as applicable. Evidence: Partners involved in the project, as listed in Table 1 of the closedown report, were Welsh Assembly Government, the University of Bath, Accenture, NPower, GE, Passiv Systems, EDMI Meters and all DNOs. The roles of project partners are clearly outlined in Table 1 and cover diverse roles including: data provision and management, advisory support, customer engagement, equipment provision and monitoring. External funding of £56,000 noted in full submission proforma. This is 0.6% of total project cost. References: • LV Network Templates; Project closedown report. • LV Network Templates; Full submission pro-forma. Assessment: The project has been / is ready to roll out into BAU. Other DNOs have included the project in their business plans. Evidence: The project closedown report provides good detail on planned implementation, with a number of elements already deployed and others planned. WPD have been able to successfully develop templates that can with an 82.2% level of accuracy estimate the load and voltage flows at a given LV substation without the need for costly monitoring. This is being rolled out as part the normal planning tool set. PV Diversity factors have been updated to reflect the outputs of LVNT. WPD have deployed voltage reduction in South Wales, resulting in savings to customers. This is being rolled out across the business at selected substations. Some areas are noted as requiring further work. Techniques from the project are being used by SPEN ARC. References: • LV Network Templates; Project closedown report. • WPD Questionnaire response Assessment: The project achieved all its successful delivery reward criteria (SDRC) and the variance was
