Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) is responsible for the transmission, distribution and direct connect of electricity to home in over 3.5 million homes. They operate in three large rural areas across North Wales, the Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway, as well as supplying homes in Liverpool, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Their network includes 30,000 substations, 40,000km of overhead line, and 65,000km of buried cable.
As with all Distribution Network Operators, they have their own specification cables for connection to their part of the Grid, to be manufactured by G81-approved suppliers.
Scottish Power Energy Networks SPEN cables are supplied as 6.35/11kV and 19/33kV voltages.
Configurations, sizes and screen cross-sectional area sizes are dictated by SPEN specifications and BS7870-Part 4 standards.
SPEN 11kV single core cables, SPEN 11kV three core cables, and SPEN 33kV cables are available cut-to-length and with accompanying cable accessories for termination.
Our DNO-approved portfolio of cables is available for next-day delivery across the UK, including the Low Voltage Waveform cables and Medium Voltage cables for private grids.
