have a higher impact on peak demand than EVs. 1 Electricity power demand higher certainty for electrified heating (BV, CT and LW scenarios) Demand will bounce back from the energy and cost of living crisis. Demand connections unblocked due to Access and Forward-Looking Charges Significant Code (Access SCR) . EVs uptake keep rising. Best View scenario considers the UK government policy changes on postponing the phase out of petrol/diesel cars and gas boilers. The higher heat pump uptakes beyond 2030 in BV is the result of the reduced certainty of the role of hydrogen for domestic heating. 2 0 3 0 Beyond 2030 there is higher certainty in the range of peak demand growth defined by Consumer Transformation and Leading the Way scenarios depending on the pace of electrification of heating.
