We will continue to seek approvals where appropriate for installation of equipment to facilitate reverse power at network substations which are already heavily loaded with generation. These installations will provide further limited capacity for generation in these areas.
Some areas require substantial network reinforcement to facilitate additional generation. Options for development of these projects are being considered by the relevant authorities.
We are also exploring new Active Network Management solutions and how these could potentially increase the ability to connect to the network and continues to update stakeholders on progress.
