Embedded Register

This data file contains the latest version of the Embedded Register including all changes up to publication. This file will be updated twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Please note:

Project Nos: We plan to phase out the use of Project IDs in favour of Project Nos which are now found included in the Dataset - we will continue to include Project IDs until the end of this year. If there is more than one Stage the Project No will be followed by a dash and the relevant stage number.

Project IDs: are Case Sensitive i.e. a0l4L0000005iPb; a0l4L0000005ipb and a0l4L0000005ipB relate to different projects.

Staging: If a project includes staged TEC there will be an associated number in the Stage column. Some projects have two separate lines without numbers - this usually indicates that the project is already built and the Customer is perhaps adding a different type of generation or building new generation to be connected at a future date. Once built the second line will fall away and the TEC incorporated into the overall project.

CKAN Data API

Access resource data via a web API with powerful query support.
Further information in the main CKAN Data API and DataStore documentation.

The Data API can be accessed via the following actions of the CKAN action API.

Query
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search`
Query (via SQL)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql`

Query example (first 5 results)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=68b6f3a1-e1bf-403b-9062-0269fc758d77&limit=5`
Query example (via SQL statement)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "68b6f3a1-e1bf-403b-9062-0269fc758d77" LIMIT 5`

A simple ajax (JSONP) request to the data API using jQuery.

var data = {
  resource_id: '68b6f3a1-e1bf-403b-9062-0269fc758d77', // the resource id
  limit: 5 // get 5 results
};
$.ajax({
  url: 'https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search',
  data: data,
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(data) {
    alert('Total results found: ' + data.result.total)
  }
});

Stage

Title	Stage
Type	integer
Description	Stage refers to Staged TEC – how much TEC the Customer will connect and when. The customer may choose to bring on capacity in chunks to align with their build /commissioning program. Staged contracts are also used when a customer may only be able to bring on a proportion of their total capacity at a particular point in time ahead of further reinforcement works being carried out, completion of which would allow the remaining TEC onto the system.
Comment	Field is only completed if the project is staged otherwise it will be empty.
Example	1
Unit

MW Connected

Title	MW Connected
Type	number
Description	Amount of capacity currently connected to National Grid
Comment	Field will state 0 MW until the project is built and connected.
Example	5.6
Unit	MW

MW Increase / Decrease

Title	MW Increase / Decrease
Type	number
Description	Amount of capacity contracted to connect or be removed at a future date
Comment	Field will state 0 MW unless the TEC is due to increase or decrease.
Example	22.5
Unit	MW

Title	Gate
Type	number
Description	Indicates which Gate the Project is contracted at
Comment	The value in this field is only completed once a signed Gate 1 or Gate 2 contract is countersigned - until that point all existing contracted projects will appear blank
