Have your Say: Aligning Strategic Network Planning for Net Zero SHEPD webinar

Have Your Say: Aligning Strategic Network Planning for the energy transition

This webinar is an opportunity for Local Authorities, Whole-System stakeholders, and Regional partners to help shape how strategic electricity network planning supports GB’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy — and how SSEN engages with you going forward.

We’ll explore how SSEN’s Strategic Development Plans (SDPs), NESO’s transitional Regional Energy Strategic Plans (t-RESPs), and the forthcoming ED3 planning cycle can be aligned with local priorities to deliver a coordinated, whole-system approach.

What you’ll gain:

• Clarity on how national and local planning fit together
• Insight into key developments like SDPs, t-RESPs, and ED3
• Influence over SSEN’s future engagement approach
• Opportunity to shape decisions that impact your region

Agenda Highlights:

• SSEN’s Strategic Development Plans (SDPs): What’s recently published, what’s next, and how it supports local planning
• t-RESPs: How they reflect strategic priorities and the consultation process
• ED3 Planning: What it means for stakeholders, update on OFGEM’s Sector Specific Methodology Consultation and how to get involved
• Future Engagement: Help shape how SSEN works going forward
