NGED Network Capacity Map data
Published by National Grid Electricity Distribution · GB · Unknown
pending_reviewDisabledNGED's demand and generation connection headroom at every bulk supply point and primary substation, with key asset ratings and locations, as behind its Network Capacity Map: a registered-users dataset.
What is withheld, and why
Every value from this source is withheld. The operator’s terms do not clearly allow us to redistribute its figures, and when signals conflict the more restrictive reading wins until the operator confirms otherwise in writing. Records are still listed — with capacity.value null, access.status "withheld" and a link to the publication — so you know the operator publishes something there.
The publication is still read and kept, because operators overwrite their files and a history not recorded when it happened can never be recovered. If reuse is cleared, customers get the history as well as the present.
Shared is NGED's classification for data released to registered users under a separate licence; what it permits is unknown, so nothing is assumed.
