How can DSOs avoid conflicts of interest? - Utility Week As the responsibilities of distribution system operators (DSOs) continue to evolve there is increasing risk of conflicts or overlaps developing. SSEN’s head of network operations, Nigel Bessant, explores these potential pinchpoints and how they can be avoided.

As DSOs take on a bigger role in a more flexible energy system, the risk of overlaps grows.
Our article, in association with SSEN, Nigel Bessant looks at how to keep operations fair, open, and trusted.
