APPLICATIONS TO: 1) CONFIRM THE CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL (CHESTER NORTHGATE) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2017; 2) CONFIRM THE STOPPING UP OF HIGHWAY (NORTH WEST) (NO. ) ORDER 201 AND; 3) CLOSE CHESTER MARKET AND RELOCATE IT WITHIN THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTHGATE AREA OF CHESTER. ELECTRICITY ACT 1989 Page 1 of 7 1. Introduction 1.1 I am a Head of Planning and Design Manager with SP Energy Networks responsible for the design of the SP Manweb plc local distribution in the Wirral area including Chester City. I hold a Master of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering from Bangor University. I joined SP Manweb in 1993 and have since held various engineering posts within the company. I have been in my current position since 2015. 1.2 SP Manweb plc is the licensed electricity Distribution Network Operator which owns and manages the electricity distribution network within Cheshire, Merseyside, North Shropshire and North Wales. SP Manweb plc is part of SP Energy Networks which owns three regulated electricity networks businesses in the UK. These are SP Manweb, SP Distribution and SP Transmission which transmit electricity in Central and Southern Scotland. SP Energy Networks supplies 1.5 million customers in Merseyside, Cheshire, North Shropshire and North Wales and 2 million customers in Central and Southern Scotland. 2. Scope of Evidence 2.1 Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWaC) issued a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) on 13th July 2017 for the land bounded by Hunter Street to the north, Northgate Street and Town Hall Square to the east, Watergate Street to the south and St Martins way to the west, Chester. Within this area, SP Manweb occupy and operate an existing operational primary 33kV substation (Linenhall Street) along with twelve secondary 11kV substations which form part of the local SPM distribution network. The asset reference and name for these sites is as listed below: Primary 33kV 04/4066/0003E Linenhall St, Chester (site 56 on CPO plan) Secondary 11kV 04/4066/0060 Market Hall, 04/4066/0043 Central Car Park 04/4066/00091 Chester International Hotel, Chester 04/4066/0066 Goldsmith House, Chester 04/4066/0054 Hamilton 04/4066/0096 Merchants House, Chester 04/4066/0034 Town Hall, Chester 04/4066/0107 Goss Street, Chester 04/4066/0069 Astons, 04/4066/0059 Hamilton Place Chester 04/4066/064 Mac fisheries 04/4066/086 Library Northgate Street 2.2 In addition, SP Manweb owns and operates a network of underground cabling between the above assets and much of this would also be affected by the proposed development. Page 2 of 7 2.3 The CPO is in relation to the proposed development of the land including these sites by CWaC. 2.4 My evidence also covers SP Manweb’s objection to the proposed Stopping Up Order as SP Manweb requires unhindered 24hr pedestrian and vehicular access to all the above substations and underground cables 2.5 On the basis that the related secondary substations are supplied by the Linenhall Street primary substation, it is this site that is the focus of the remainder of this evidence. 2.6 The main apparatus affected by the proposed scheme is the removal of the Linenhall Street Primary 33kV Substation. The proposed development cannot include the removal of the Linenhall Street substation until such an alternative and suitable site is made available and contract terms have been formally agreed between SP Manweb and the CWaC. 2.7 SP Manweb therefore objects to the proposed CPO on the basis that the acquisition of its sites would have serious detrimental effect on the ability of it as a statutory undertaker to carry out its duties to its customers served by the affected network, and in particular, to the proposed development itself. 2.8 The purpose of my evidence is: To provide background on SP Manweb plc as a Distribution Network Licence holder under the Electricity Act 1989; To describe the existing electricity distribution system which comprises the city centre area’; To demonstrate that the removal of Linenhall Primary substation prior to the installation and commissioning of an alternative source of supply would not be technically feasible. To demonstrate SP Manweb require that CWaC provide a double primary substation site in an alternative location to cater for the existing and additional load (and alternative suitable site for any other substations that have to be relocated). 3. Electricity Supply Arrangements 3.1 Electricity is primarily generated at large power stations and supplied to customers through an integrated high voltage transmission system operated in England and Wales by National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (NGET). Lower voltage distribution systems are operated by Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). As a DNO, SP Manweb plc takes supplies from NGET at Grid Supply Points (GSPs) and distributes electricity around its area at 132kV, 33kV and at lower voltages to customers’ premises. The distribution system consists of overhead lines, cables and substations. Page 3 of 7 4. The Electricity Act 1989 as amended by the Utilities Act 2000 and the Distribution Licence. 4.1 A number of the key statutory obligations and licence conditions that apply when designing, planning and developing the SP Manweb plc distribution system are set out in this section. 4.2 SP Manweb plc has a statutory duty under Section 9 (SPM1.1) of the Electricity Act 1989 to develop and maintain an efficient, co-ordinated and economical system of electricity distribution. Under Section 16 (SPM1.1) of the Electricity Act 1989 (as amended) the Company has a duty to provide an electricity connection and continue to maintain such a connection. Section 16 states that “any reference to making a connection includes a reference to maintaining the connection (and continuing to provide the necessary electric lines or electric plant)”. 4.3 SP Manweb plc is the holder of an Electricity Distribution Licence for the Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales area. Condition 21 (SPM1.2) of the licence requires compliance with the Distribution Code which is designed so as to permit the development, maintenance and operation of an efficient, co- ordinated and economical system for the distribution of electricity. Condition 24 (SPM1.3) of the licence places a responsibility on the Company to plan and develop the distribution system in accordance with a standard not less than that set out in Engineering Recommendation P2/61, ‘Security of Supply’ (doc ref SPM1.4). 4.4 All DNO’s have a Customer Minutes Lost (CML) target and a Customer Interruptions (CI) target imposed on them by Ofgem. Failure to meet these may result in significant financial penalties under the ‘Information and Incentives Project’ (IIP). The distribution system must therefore have sufficient flexibility to maintain supplies in the event of planned outages for repair, maintenance, refurbishment or new construction work and for forced outages due to faults on the system. 5. Overview of the Linenhall Street substation 5.1 Linenhall Street substation is part of an existing group of 33/11kV 7.5MVA transformers: Grosvenor St - Linenhall – Northgate Terrace – Station View and Tomular Place as shown in Figure 1 below. The Group Maximum Demand is 23.36MVA. Without Linenhall Street substation, SP Manweb would be running the group outside of acceptable ratings. This would be exacerbated when additional load generated by the development and related growth is added. Page 4 of 7 Figure 1 - Geographic Layout of Primary Substation Locations 5.2 A network demand study has been scaled to include the proposed development and the anticipated 4.3% load growth as we are anticipating connections in 2019/21. 5.3 The system demand for the network under consideration is as follows:- Substation Substation Substation Substation Capacity Maximum Forecast MD (4.3% - 2015- (MVA) Demand 2020) (from IPSA+ Model) Grosvenor Street 7.5 5.2 5.42 Linenhall 7.5 5.1 5.31 Northgate Terrace 7.5 5.1 5.31 Station View 7.5 5.1 5.31 Tomular Place 10 5.2 5.42 Total 37.5* 25.7 26.8 (*Total complies with ESDD-02-019 Mixed Transformers) 5.4 The Linenhall Street substation is therefore a strategic part of the existing SP Manweb 33kV infrastructure for Chester City and its location forms a fundamentally important role in the day to day operational requirements of the local distribution network. Page 5 of 7 6. Requirement for an alternative site 6.1 The preferred option is to relocate Linenhall substation to New Crane Street and install 2 x 7.5/10MVA Transformers to allow the connection of the additional load for the development into the existing HV circuits around the development site. The attached Technical Justification Paper (SPM 1.5) explains why an alternative site is required. 6.2 The site location has been confirmed as agreeable in principle with CWaC however the substation building and architectural layout is still to be confirmed and agreed with them. Necessary consents and other planning requirements need to be secured and alterations to other parts of the network are still to be finalised and agreed 6.3 SP Manweb and CWaC have, via their respective solicitors been actively trying to reach an agreement whereby the Council will provide an undertaking to SP Manweb to ensure that the Company’s assets are protected and on completion of this agreement SP Manweb would be agree to lift the objection.

  • Optimal Non-Linear Income Tax When Highly Skilled Individuals Vote with Their Feet
    Incorporating the Price of Quality in Efficiency Analysis: the Case of Electricity Distribution Regulation in the UK William Yu, Tooraj Jamasb and Michael Pollitt July 2007 CWPE 0736 and EPRG 0713 Incorporating the Price of Quality in Efficiency Analysis: The Case of Electricity Distribution Regulation in the UK William Yu *, Tooraj Jamasb, Michael Pollitt Abstract Efficiency analysis of electricity distribution networks is often limited to technical or cost efficiency measures. However, some important non-tradable aspects of their service such as quality of service and network energy losses are generally not part of the analysis. A regulatory concern is that technical efficiency can be achieved at the expense of these measures as well as allocative efficiency. Valuation of service quality for inclusion in regulatory models is particularly difficult. This paper presents an approach to measure and incorporate service quality and energy losses in analysis of technical and allocative efficiency of the utilities. We calculate technical and allocative efficiency of the 14 distribution networks in the UK between 1990/91 and 2003/04 using the Data Envelopment Analysis technique. We find that efficiency measures improved during the first (1990/91-1994/95) and second (1995/96-1999/00) distribution price control reviews and exhibited a slight decline during the third (2000/01-2004/05) review period. We find relatively low allocative efficiency - i.e. a mismatch in allocating resources among expenditures, service quality, and energy losses. The results suggest that the utilities may not be sufficiently incentivised to achieve socially optimal input bundles under the current incentive scheme. Keywords: efficiency, Data Envelopment Analysis, electricity, quality of service, willingness-to-pay.

Registered in England No. 02366937 SUMMARY The North Wales Wind Farms Connection Project is a major electrical infrastructure development project, involving several wind farm developers and the local Distribution Network Operator – SP Manweb plc (SP Manweb). The development of on-shore wind generation in Wales is guided by the Welsh Government’s energy strategy, initially published in 2003. In their Technical Advice Note (TAN) 8: renewable energy (2005) the Welsh Government identified 7 Strategic Search Areas (SSAs) as potential locations for wind generation, of which area A is in North Wales. During the past 20 years, approximately 220 MW of wind generation (both onshore and offshore) have been connected to the SP Manweb distribution network in North Wales. Within the TAN 8 SSA A, SP Manweb is currently contracted to connect a further four wind farms[1] which have received planning consent and total 170 MW of generation. SP Manweb has a statutory duty to offer terms to connect new generating stations to its distribution system.
