Some of the information we hold is statutory, other work includes collating safety statistics, cataloguing engineering standards and terms. This is streamlined through a number of databases (sometimes known as ‘portals’) which facilitate information exchanges across those involved or interested in the industry.
Other documentation can be found in our Resource library.

Competition in Connections Code of Practice (CiC COP)
The Competition in Connections (CiC) Code of Practice governs the way in which Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) provide input services to facilitate competition in the electricity connections distribution market. It will help customers have more choice over their connection provider.

Embedded capacity registers
The development of Embedded Capacity Registers (ECR) by network companies provide better, standardised information to customers and stakeholders on connected resources and services. The links below will take you to the ECRs that have been developed by each network operator.
- Electricity North West
- Northern Powergrid
- SP Energy Networks
- Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks
- UK Power Networks
- Western Power Distribution
- National Grid ESO
The Embedded Capacity Registers were initially developed and known System Wide Resource Registers (SWRR).

Energy Data Request Tool
The Energy Data Request Tool can be used by anyone to request any type of network data. Requests are processed using Microsoft Forms and managed in line with our privacy policy. Learn more about Microsoft’s privacy practices.
The Energy Data Request Tool will help gather insight into the volume of requests, their origin, the granularity of data requested and how the data will be used. In creating a single point for data requests and standardising networks’ approach to servicing these requests, we will ensure data from across the networks is “Discoverable, Searchable, Understandable”.
An accompanying Data Triage Playbook is available to help requestors understand how their requests are being triaged by the networks.

Security Incident Reporting System (SIRS)
The Security Task Group (STG) is concerned with all aspects of security on the electricity network. Theft, in particular, has become an increasing problem in recent years largely due to the steep rise in the cost of commodities such as copper and steel. The reporting system can be accessed by users assigned by STG.
