VisNet Modelling: Why the UK’s forgotten ‘last mile’ could put net zero on hold

As the UK moves towards net zero, much of the attention is on renewable generation such as offshore wind, solar and nuclear. But as our Head of Product & Strategic Sales, Ian Cooper, highlights in a recent feature, the real challenge lies in the low voltage (LV) network – the critical “last mile” that carries power from substations into homes. Strengthening this part of the grid is essential to ensure the UK’s clean energy transition delivers on its promises, supporting the rollout of EV charging, heat pumps and renewable generation efficiently and reliably.

At VisNet, we’re proud to be leading the conversation around LV network resilience and digitalisation, helping distribution network operators (DNOs) prepare for the demands of a decarbonised, decentralised energy system. Read the full article to explore how smarter monitoring, predictive modelling and coordinated investment can unlock the full potential of clean energy across the UK.
