Constraint Management Pathfinder

Relatively minor changes in transmission charging and constraint management could enable significant steps towards net zero, according to a new report.

National Grid ESO estimated that it has saved consumers £80 million between April 2022 and January 2023 that would otherwise have been used on constraint payments, through the early adoption of its Constraint Management Pathfinder’s (CMP) Anglo-Scottish Intertrip scheme.

​National Grid ESO has awarded 15 contracts to ten companies to provide new ‘post fault’ services.

​National Grid ESO has launched the first phase of its constraint management pathfinder aiming to reduce the impact of constraints and maximise renewables.

​National Grid ESO has launched a Constraint Management Pathfinder RFI with the hope of adding a new service to its operations, aimed at reducing the cost of network constraints.
