What is the DFES

Discover how Electricity North West is preparing for the future of energy through its Distribution Future Electricity Scenarios (DFES). In this video, we explore how different factors — from the growth of electric vehicles and heat pumps to changes in energy consumption — shape the way we plan and operate our electricity network.

Our DFES helps us anticipate how demand and generation might evolve across the North West, ensuring we continue to deliver a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective electricity supply.

Learn how these scenarios support the transition to net zero, enable local decarbonisation efforts, and help us make informed decisions for the future.
