SPEN Weekly Substation Carbon Estimate

The "SPEN Weekly Substation Carbon Estimate" data table provides the CO2 equivalent emissions measurements of the majority of SPEN operated Primary substation's and Grid Supply Points (GSPs). A small number of these sites are not available due to a lack of recorded data or monitoring equipment, or due to being exclusively exporting sites. These tables have been published to give the users information which will allow them to better understand the CO2 emission levels for GSP's and Primary substations in the SPD and SPM License Areas. The file that has been published is the SPEN Weekly Substation Carbon Estimate. The file gives the following information: 1. Timestamp - The timestamp column acts as an index to show the exact time of which a given row's value would have applied to a columns substation. 2. License Area - The electricity distribution license area the substation belongs to. 3. Substation Name - The name of the substation. 4. gCO2e - gCO2e stands for "grams of carbon dioxide equivalent". This is the unit measurement estimated to be associated with each substation on a half-hourly basis, derived by the demand of the substation and the national average carbon emissions from energy generators.

For the avoidance of doubt, this data should not be used for safety critical purposes without the use of appropriate safety checks and services e.g. LineSearchBeforeUDig etc. Please raise any potential issues with the data which you have received via the feedback form available at the Feedback tab above (must be logged in to see this). This data is historic only, and uses an average Carbon Intensity calculated for the South Scotland region across all substations - which means individual substations may not show values reflective of their true resultant carbon footprint. This dataset is not live - there will be a lag between available data and the date it was compiled, and due to it updating quarterly, will further lag behind real time values. The year's worth of data will therefor not represent from the current date back one year, but rather several months prior - and back a year from that date instead. Whilst we use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the data contained within the register is accurate, we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or the completeness of the content or any loss which may arise from reliance on the register and related information. ### Data Triage As part of our commitment to enhancing the transparency, and accessibility of the data we share, we publish the results of our Data Triage process. Our Data Triage documentation includes our Risk Assessments; detailing any controls we have implemented to prevent exposure of sensitive information.
