DCode: The Distribution Code

Licensed distribution businesses, or Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), are obliged under Condition 9 of their licences to maintain a Distribution Code detailing the technical parameters and considerations relating to connexion to, and use of, their systems.

All DNOs currently operate the same version of the code, and the code is maintained by the Distribution Code Review Panel. All modifications to the Code have to be approved by Ofgem.

The Distribution Code contains the following ( * - not part of formal distribution code):

  • Guidance Note *
  • Distribution Glossary and Definitions
  • Annex 1
  • Distribution Code Introduction *
  • Distribution General Conditions
  • Distribution Planning and Connexion Code
  • Distribution Operating Code
  • Distribution Data Registration Code
  • Guide to the Distribution Code of Great Britain*

If you would like to be notified about DCode updates and consultations, please email Peter Roberts:

Standards and other documents referenced in Annex 1 and Appendix 2 of the Distribution Code can be purchased from the Energy Networks Association.
