Introduction to the Document Catalogue

The Energy Networks Association (ENA) represents the interests of all energy companies in the UK. The Document Catalogue System is an online catalogue of engineering documents available from the ENA.

Documents available from the site include Technical Specifications, Engineering Recommendations and Reports, BEBS Specifications and reports supporting the electricity network process and policies.

Most documents are available to anybody but a small number are confidential to ENA member companies and can only be accessed by those member companies. The system allows clients that are not full ENA members to purchase documents by credit/debit card via secure transactions provided by WorldPay.
