Capacity Planning
We use hourly system results to identify how much generation, storage, network capacity and flexibility will be needed, where it is needed and when it should be built.
The planning question
What generation, storage, network capacity and flexibility does each scenario require, by location and year?
We compare demand with the generation, storage, interconnection and flexibility available in each scenario. Shortages, curtailment, utilisation and flows show where the system needs more capacity or a different mix.
Demand, weather, technology costs and policy all change the answer. We report a range across scenarios and show which investments are needed in each case.
Partnerships & consortiums
We work with partners when the question needs more than one area of expertise.
We are open to partnerships and consortiums with system operators, public bodies, research organisations, infrastructure developers and technology teams.
