This suite of guides “Safe use of Drones around Electricity Assets” and the “Starting Your Drone ProgrammeA Good Practice Guide” sets out good practice standards and operational protocols for the use of Unmanned Aircraft (UA) in proximity to electricity assets.  Its primary audience includes operators, contractors, and any organisations engaged in work near or on electricity infrastructure.

The core purpose is to provide an enabling framework: if an organisation does not currently have internal processes or policies related to drone use, these guides offer a comprehensive overview of UA applications and essential criteria to consider when drafting companies own operational procedures.

This Guide Safe Use of Drones in and Around Electricity Assets encourages alignment with industry standards, fostering consistency, safety, and innovation across the sector.
