Future Energy Scenarios

To understand more about the way that FES maps the future and what effect the pathways have on the electricity system, Current± spoke to Jonty Haynes, principal analyst at Regen.

The National Grid ESO (ESO) has released its Future Energy Scenarios (FES) 2024: ESO Pathways to Net Zero report, emphasising the importance of decisive action within the next two years to secure a clean energy system by 2050.

Accelerating the energy transition can not only alleviate concerns over security of energy supply, but also deliver cheaper power to consumers, National Grid ESO has said.

​National Grid ESO’s Future Energy Scenarios (FES) 2021 outline four different, credible pathways for the future of energy in Britain, details the transformation of the energy mix and flexibility, the residential sector and the transport sector.

​Changes to consumer behaviour and policy clarity will be pivotal to achieving net zero in the UK.

​Western Power Distribution (WPD) has released its latest mapped projection of how the energy network of the future will look across its service area.

National Grid ESO has published its 2020 Future Energy Scenarios (FES), marking a significant shift as it replaces three of these scenarios with net zero compliant ones.

​Western Power Distribution (WPD) has shared its mapped data of future energy scenarios for the first time.

​Sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are set to exceed National Grid ESO’s projections, according to Cornwall Insight.

National Grid ESO’s Future Energy Scenarios (FES) 2019 – released last week – outlined four potential scenarios for the next 30 years of the energy system. And for the first time, the Electricity System Operator (ESO) used sensitivity modelling to create a net zero scenario.
