Objectives Build phase - using datasets to measure the risk of customers being left behindTest and refine - verify the quality and validity of the models outputVisualisation - build interactive map to visualise across geographical layersPlatform expansion - Bring together the three types of vulnerability data The scope of the project consists of: Statistical modelling to create a score for each blocker to the energy system transition Assess the degree to which each dataset explains the likelihood that a customer may face the LCT blockers Developing interactive map using open source tools and conduct usability testing to refine functionalities/optionsDevelop a mathematical approach to calculating a single overarching vulnerability score based on the three types of data  Using datasets to measure the risk of customers being left behind in the energy system transition and the blockers driving the risk across SP Energy Networks communities Build a clear, powerful and user friendly interactive map to visualise the risk of being left behindBring together into a single tool the three types of vulnerability data 
Abstract Vulnerability in the Energy System Transition is a project that will develop a tool to create an overall score that captures the likelihood of customers in different geographical areas being left behind in the energy system transition. A breakdown of which specific barriers determine the likelihood of customers being left behind across geographical areas will allow SP Energy Networks to provide tailored advice and support to customers, addressing the identified challenges and barriers.
