Introduction: A DNO research & development collaboration hosted by EA Technology.

Objectives: The Module 2 programme for budget year 2011/12 aimed to optimise overhead network design, improve operational performance, maximise potential benefits, improve financial performance and minimise risk associated with overhead networks, whilst having due regard for the environment and energy efficiency. The programme also aimed to deliver continuous improvement in terms of safety and environmental performance of the overhead network to meet the individual business requirements of member companies. Several of the projects contribute to the industry’s knowledge of variation in climate change.
