Helping you achieve your Net Zero ambitions
The DSO’s Local Net Zero team is here to facilitate local authorities’ low carbon plans through support, planning, guidance and data sharing.
More than 80% of Local Authorities within the UK Power Networks licence area are aiming to be Net Zero and carbon neutral before 2050. If you are involved or interested in planning for Net Zero 2050, you have come to the right place to find what you need to get started.

Boosting Your Success in Securing EV Infrastructure Funding
We have launched ChargePoint Navigator, a new tool designed to help local authorities strengthen bids for Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding. Developed with Field Dynamics, Cenex, and ZapMap, the tool integrates electricity network data with localised insights to identify areas most in need of public EV chargepoints.
Initially targeted at 49 local authorities in London, the South, and South East of England, it has already proven effective in the Tranche 2 funding rounds, significantly improving application success rates. Authorities are encouraged to leverage this tool plan chargepoint rollout and to support residents without off-street parking.
