Our increasingly complex energy system must be planned and operated in a way that considers the interactions across electricity, gas and other forms of energy. We also need to consider the interdependencies with other sectors, such as water, transport, telecommunications and industry.

Fundamental to NESO is the ability to bring an independent, impartial voice to energy system planning and operations that takes this whole system view. We’ll consider all the interrelated challenges and trade-offs and ultimately work towards optimal outcomes for energy consumers.

We bring together eight activities required to deliver the plans, markets and operations of the energy system of today and the future. Bringing these activities together in one organisation encourages holistic thinking on the most cost-efficient and sustainable solutions to the needs of our customers.

NESO’s eight main activities

System Operations

We accelerate progress towards clean power by taking a whole system approach to operations.

Connections

We deliver efficient system access for electricity generation and demand projects, so that those projects that are ready and aligned to Great Britain’s clean power ambitions are prioritised.

Energy Markets

We develop competitive and coordinated energy markets that result in a cost-efficient energy system and give us the tools for low-carbon operation.

Resilience & Emergency Management

We provide whole system coordination and analysis for system resilience and preparation for emergencies across Great Britain’s energy industry.

Energy Insights

We use our whole system expertise to deliver independent insights to government, Ofgem and industry, backed by transparent evidence.

Security of Supply

We enable a stable, reliable and secure energy system through an integrated and coordinated approach to ensuring our energy supply needs can be securely met.

Data & Artificial Intelligence

We digitally advance Great Britain's whole energy system by collaborating with industry, enabling the exchange of data and driving value through artificial intelligence.

Strategic Planning

We take a long-term approach to planning, which identifies whole energy system needs and ensures that the system can be designed and built accordingly.
