Introduce the London Grid Distribution case study that runs through the entire course, so learners know the organisation, its licence area, and its strategic challenges.

London Grid Distribution operating model: inputs, accountability, outputs

Three lanes read left to right: the external input the operator receives, the DNO function held accountable for it in the middle, and the public output that function produces. Flow arrows make the input-to-output trace explicit.

Every public output traces back to an external input via the internal function that produces it. Connection offers come from customer requests, reliability reports from operational events, capacity declarations from network planning against the licence.

London Grid Distribution operating model: inputs, accountability, outputs Three horizontal lanes read left to right under three headers: external inputs, DNO accountability, public outputs. Each lane begins with a calm grey input panel for what the operator receives: a customer request, a network fault, an Ofgem licence obligation. A red arrow labelled feeds leads to the emphasised middle panel naming the accountable DNO function: connections team, control room, network planning. A blue arrow labelled produces leads to the output panel for what each function produces: connection offer, reliability report, capacity declaration. A red note states that the middle lane carries the accountability and every output traces back to an input through it.
