Here at National Grid Strategic Infrastructure we are committed to developing our electricity transmission system for the future generations. We understand that the way forwards to support our journey to Net Zero and improve our sustainability is through digitisation such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the use of collaborative ways of working with our delivery partners and other transmission owners.

Our contributions to support the Digital Energy Forum serve a great purpose for infrastructure and so we aim to improve future ways of working which should ultimately benefit all of our customers here in the UK.

We are SSEN Transmission, part of the SSE plc Group. Our responsibilities include maintenance and investment in the high voltage 132kV, 220kV, 275kV and 400kV AC electricity transmission network along with High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables and convertor stations. Our extensive network consists of underground and subsea cables, as well as overhead lines supported by wooden poles or steel towers, and electricity substations. Our operational area extends over a quarter of the UK’s landmass, navigating some of the most challenging terrain on land and sea, and powering our communities by providing a safe and reliable supply of electricity.

SP Transmission plc is a wholly owned subsidiary of SP Energy Networks. We are responsible for the transmission of electricity in central and southern Scotland. We take electricity generated from power stations, windfarms and various other utilities and transport it through our vast transmission network, consisting of over 4500 kilometres of overhead lines and over 600 kilometers of underground cables. We have over 150 substations and in excess of 100 grid supply points in our network where we take the high voltage supply and reduce it to the low voltage needed for use in the home.

Our systems is crucial to the delivery of the Government’s renewable energy objectives due to its location in an area of outstanding renewable resource and our geographical location. We have a unique role in connecting renewable generation and bulk transfer of renewable energy from Scotland into England & Wales benefiting stakeholders well beyond our licence area.

At Autodesk, we're proud to play a vital role in supporting energy and water sector projects that power the world's progress. As the leading provider of design and analysis software, we empower energy companies and water utilities with advanced tools and technologies to optimize their processes. Our comprehensive suite of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software enables seamless collaboration, efficient project management, and data-driven decision-making.

From renewable energy initiatives to management of ageing assets, we stand by our commitment to helping our partners meet sustainability goals, enhance operational efficiency, and drive innovation for a brighter, greener future.
