he stronger regulatory and policy environment in
GG and SP drives higher levels of interconnection.
Weaker policy and regulatory approach in LCL
and NP leads to lower levels of capacity.

lectricity storage has the potential to provide
flexibility in balancing the system with increased
levels of intermittent supply sources in the future.
However, significant cost reductions and access
to multiple revenue streams are required to make
storage a commercially viable solution.

H
eat is a major proportion of energy use
in our scenarios.
S
avings from new A rated boiler replacements
are considerable and further savings are expected
over the next decade.
N
ew houses will be increasingly energy
efficient as a result of incremental changes
in building regulations.
T
here remains further efficiency savings from
industrial and commercial sectors.
H
eat pumps are assumed to initially be deployed
in houses not connected to the gas grid, resulting
in a net reduction in electricity demand.
R
ange extended and plug-in hybrids are expected
to dominate the electric vehicle market.
U
sers in London, second car and fleet buyers
are likely to make up the bulk of the early adopters.
M
arket saturation of electric vehicles is not
reached in any scenario.
T
rial results showing the impact of Time Of Use
Tariffs on electric vehicle charging have been
incorporated in our modelling. This has reduced
potential peak demands.

L
ighting and appliances are the predominant
consumers of electricity in the home.
T
he largest change in recent years and the near
term in the residential electricity sector is around
lighting and efficiency improvements instigated
by European policy.
I
ncreases in the number and size of some
appliances will be offset by their efficiency
improvements.
C
onsumer affordability combined with government
incentives will determine the adoption of electric
vehicles and heat pumps, which will drive the
changes in demand in the future.
T
he impact of smart meters is small in comparison
to the above changes and is bound by the
speed of the roll-out and the adoption of time
of use tariffs.
T
he changing supply mix for electricity generation
increasingly enables low carbon and renewable
electricity to be used to meet electricity demand.
A
s well as meeting traditional demand, this
electricity creates opportunity for heat and
transport to be electrified in a sustainable way
to realise environmental ambition.
W
hilst heat can be electrified, it still needs gas
for times of high demand, to constrain costs.
