Twelve domain routes. Real operators, real numbers, real regulatory references. A live LTDS validator against the official Ofgem CIM v7 profiles. A dictionary of 220 terms. And a decision framework on every reading route. This workspace is designed for the analyst, policy adviser, engineer or journalist who needs more than headlines and less than a textbook.
What this workspace covers
1 October 2024NESO launches · the first new GB energy institution in a generation
When the National Energy System Operator launched as an independent public corporation, it separated the function of running the electricity system from the function of owning the transmission assets. That separation reshapes how connection decisions are made, how reforms are designed, and how the 2030 Clean Power pathway is delivered.
Most public reference material about GB energy still reads as if it were written in 2022. Dates are not updated. Operators are named incorrectly. Numbers drift. This workspace was built to be different. Every claim in every route resolves to
The design choice is simple. Readers should be able to check anything you see. Opinions here are clearly labelled and can be disagreed with. The evidence layer is the part that should stay stable.
Most of what you read about GB energy online is true today and may be wrong in six months. How do you know which claims will still hold? The answer is provenance, not prose.
Pick a journey below, or jump to a route card. Every route ends with a decision framework. Every claim is cited. Every tool works.
Section 01 · Pick a journey
Different readers need different sequences. The four journeys below each select five to seven routes in the right order for a specific purpose.
Journey 01 · Policy analyst
For advisers working Clean Power 2030, REMA, TM04+, MHHS or the 2026 hydrogen decision.
Journey 02 · Engineer
For network, connection or operations engineers who need the asset picture first.
Journey 03 · Data and research
For analysts who work with BMRS, the Carbon Intensity API, LTDS files, or Ofgem returns.
Journey 04 · Informed citizen
For readers who want to understand why their electricity and gas cost what they cost.
Section 02 · All routes
Each route ends with a decision tree. Each claim has a cited source. Each number has a verified date.
Transmission, distribution, the connection queue, the 2019 blackout.
ElectricityThe 2024 fuel mix, balancing, inertia, Clean Power 2030.
GasNTS, pressure cascade, supply mix, the 2026 hydrogen decision.
MarketsFive markets, one bill. REMA and the pricing-architecture debate.
GovernanceDESNZ, Ofgem, NESO, Elexon. The six gates from policy to rule.
Energy dataThe five stages, CIM, MHHS, DIP, public APIs.
ToolUpload a CIM dataset and validate against the official Ofgem SHACL profiles (EQ v7, SCR v3, SYSCAP v5, Header).
ToolGB generation, carbon intensity, solar and interconnector flows at 30-minute granularity.
Reference220 energy-sector terms with regulatory references and source attribution.
ScenariosTen GB energy scenarios: connections reform, DSO flexibility, MHHS readiness, smart-meter data sharing and more.
ToolInteractive GB network map with connection-point finder, voltage levels and operator regions.
ToolPower factor, voltage drop, cable sizing, transformer calculations grounded in BS 7671.
Section 03 · Provenance
The workspace is built on a claims ledger. Every factual number you see on a route is backed by a verified source at a stated date, with a risk tier reflecting how current that source is.
Every fact is keyed in data/gb-energy/claims/claims.v2.json with source, verifiedDate, riskTier and staleAfterDays.
Ofgem, NESO, DESNZ, Elexon, National Gas, ENA, NSTA, IEC standards.
P0 = highest stakes, re-verify monthly. P1 = verify quarterly. P2 = annual refresh.
Every cite marker on every route lets you hover to see the source, date and risk tier inline.
The provenance chain is designed to be machine-verifiable. Third parties can cross-check any claim against the published ledger.
