Impact of New Technology HGVs
Project summary
This project aims to create the most realistic within day profiles as possible for the future GB electric heavy-goods vehicles (HGVs) fleet. This project will output a model, which can produce NESO’s required inputs to Plexos, and enable periodic updates/sensitivity testing to enabling lasting value to the NESO’s processes and stakeholders.

Benefits
A step change in understanding of HGVs system impacts, moving the NESO towards its strategic goal of being GB leaders in the within day system impacts and flexibility of future demand.
Outputs which can quickly be captured in NESOs network investment assessment processes (FES, ETYS & NOA – Soon to be CSNP).
Through engagement with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and NGED (National Grid Electricity Distribution), it is likely that outputs will inform the modelling of other infrastructure planners
