About the session

As the UK’s power networks get to grips with a very different future, they are looking at how the DSO business model will work in practice. The Energy Networks Association is leading the Open Networks Project to explore implications of the DSO model, while the Future Power System Architecture project is looking even further ahead. This session will explore the latest thinking from both projects, and ask what it means for network leaders today.
