What this could mean for UK Power Networks •  By 2020:

– We will be supporting as many new connections of EV charge posts annually as we do bus-shelters and lamp posts today

–  have seen PV added at the domestic level to up to 15% of our maximum demand

•  By 2023, 1 in 25 of our ‘customers’ will be an EV charge post!

•  Regulator has shown clear direction towards ‘Smart’ •  We want to serve customers better •  Low Carbon London is the idea platform to prepare for

this future
