Understanding SCR curtailment limits – what every good Development and Investment Director should know

Under the new connection charging and access rules that came into force on 1 April 2023 (SCR), when DNOs provide a curtailable connection they will be required to compensate connected customers for any curtailment above a prescribed level. Curtailed connections may be enduring but may only be interim whilst the DNO carries out reinforcements at their own cost. Either way they will become common-place, and all good Development Directors and Investment Directors should understand the weaknesses of the Curtailment Limit calculation formula, and how the limit differs from DNOs’ curtailment reports.

In this Connectology podcast, Pete Aston – who was responsible for the rollout of ANM across National Grid Electricity Distribution’s networks – guides you through this new landscape.
