these are some links I may use to help with cross-refenced data checkeing about the electric supply in areas I map the mapsdon’t show the smallest voltage substations as they are very numourus and I guess may be semi-bypassed on a back feed.

In the UK verious enviromental based iniciatives have seen the need for the uk electrical distribution network that had once been organised with a top-down economies of very large approch start to be able backfeed for people originaly just supplied to one of these pages shows that current spare capacity to achive that for a new generator. Of course SSE will probably provide more capacity if requested with potentialy network enhancement costs which could cost more than a basic backfeed as well as the addtional time for new cables,trenches,towers and transformers to be built into the system. The other is a map of declared power cuts, small ones happen a lot from oftern from things going on around infrastucture like digging and things simply bashing into overhead lines, etc. the effect of cold weather is designed into the system but things not design to handle high winds like cars, trees and rubbish bins can crash into strained lines during high winds as if hurled by a battury of catapults in an anchient battlefield. Floods also cause headaces but works are underway in some places to impove isolastion from flood water through rasing or encapsulation.
