Outlining the transition of SP Energy Networks from a DNO to a DSO. This transition aims to create a smarter and more sustainable energy model by implementing a dynamic connectivity model. The presentation focuses on:

• Adapting to Increased Demand: Addressing the growing demand from low carbon technologies (LCTs) and ensuring the distribution network can meet customer needs while aligning with net zero goals.
• Enhancing Network Management: Utilizing real-time data and artificial intelligence to optimize network performance, validate the need for network reinforcement, and reduce regulatory penalties.
• Improving Customer Service: Implementing technologies like low voltage SCADA systems to make quick, logic-based decisions that enhance service quality and reduce interruptions.
• Technological Integration: Reviewing existing technologies and their adaptations to improve data utilisation and network performance.
• Monitoring and Validation: Establishing requirements for monitoring systems to support connectivity modeling, design, and network performance in business-as-usual operations.
