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

Assessment:<br />

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

Evidence:<br />

The project looked at commercial incentives for the connection of Energy Storage Systems. An additional<br />

benefit was to provide an appraisal of the suitability of the connection process for storage devices. The<br />

project highlighted there are potential benefits to be realised, in terms of network operation, by devising a<br />

new connection process which incentivises connection by specific customer types in specific locations.<br />

The project looks at methods to facilitate the connection of new generation or demand.<br />

Carbon benefits are not specifically quantified.<br />
