Welcome to the Electricity North West Ltd Data Portal

Explore the additional functionality of the datasets available within our data portal. Dependant on the dataset content, information may be spatially mapped or else observed as a table, with the ability to filter and analyse the content through a wide selection of chart types. Datasets may also be downloadable in a number of file formats or accessed via API.

New - Grid Charge Planner (Beta)

ENWL is committed to supporting Local Authorities in the development and deployment of their Electric Vehicle charging strategies. To meet the unique needs of Local Authorities we have developed Grid Charge Planner, a bespoke digital tool to assist Local Authorities with their Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) planning, application and charge point rollout.


We’re looking for trial participants! By taking part in the beta phase, you’ll help shape these tools and ensure they deliver real value to the communities they serve


New - Small-Scale Solar Project Planner (Beta)

ENWL are committed to supporting community energy groups in the development and deployment of their solar projects. To meet the unique needs of these groups, we have developed the Small-Scale Solar Project Planner, a bespoke digital tool to assist with planning and rollout of local solar energy initiatives.

New - Dataset Roadmap

The new Dataset Roadmap lists the chronological publication of all current datasets on the portal, alongside pipeline of proposed future datasets we envisage publishing in the short to medium term.

Visualisation of the information contained in this dataset is available as the custom view 'Dataset Roadmap Timeline'.


Connection and Capacity Information

The GSP QUEUE dataset affords the user a view of the current “Contracted Not Connected” pipeline of schemes at a GSP level, this list should enable our users to understand what technologies and connection capacities exist in the current queue. The three CAPACITY datasets will enable developers to assess the level of capacity that might be available for new connections to our network. These datasets contain capacity information on all Grid Supply Points, Bulk Supply Points and Primary sites connected to our network.

HV Network Capacity Map

Visualise demand and capacity headroom across the whole of our HV network. Depicting all underground cables and overhead line sections of our 11kV and 6.6kV circuits, as well as the secondary substations on our rnetwork (at the time of publication).

Flexible Services Map

Our flexibility map displays the locations within our distribution area where we are currently seeking Flexible Services, or may have a requirement for in the future.

Embedded Capacity Register Map

View the composite Embedded Capacity Register Map (created from the ECR Datasets Parts 1, 2 & 3). In an expansion to the previous longstanding ECR format, Electricity North West now report on generation and storage resources rated ≥50kW (previously ≥1MW).

NDP - Demand Capacity Map

Primary & BSP Demand Capacity forecasts as per Electricity North West's Network Development Plan ( NDP ) publication.

NDP - Generation Capacity Map

Primary & BSP Generation Capacity forecasts as per Electricity North West's Network Development Plan ( NDP ) publication.

ENWL Network Asset Viewer (NAV)

Access our Network Asset Viewer to search for assets in our electricity distribution network.


Unplanned Outages Map

The unplanned outages data provides details of all recorded power outages on the ENWL network including the time, duration, cause (where known) and approximate location.

GSP Boundary Flow

Records of the current and power flow (active (MW) and reactive (MVAr)) into the Electricity North West Network from National Grid.

Network Development Plan

We’re inviting our customers and stakeholders to review and comment on the draft of our first Network Development Plan publication.

Long Term Development Statement

Allows existing and potential customers to make an initial assessment of the capabilities of the electricity network.

Flexible Services

The way energy is generated, stored, consumed and traded is changing rapidly, and Flexible Services are a smart and efficient way of facilitating this transition.
