OpenLV utilises hardware and software to monitor low voltage electricity substation performance and electricity demand.

This website was developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy and takes data from LV-CAP™ or VisNet® Hub and uses it to show information - in the form of graphs, charts and ‘smileys’ - about energy use in selected communities. The information is anonymous and is totalled across homes connected to the substation; it doesn’t show data for individual households.

The app that this website uses to present data from LV-CAP™ was also developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy.

LV-CAP™ and VisNet® Hub are managed by EA Technology and are being run in Western Power Distribution’s licence areas (the Midlands, the South West and South Wales).
