It all seems a bit irrelevant whether the boundaries followed main roads, railways, rivers, telephone exchange areas or were random !  You can't change the DNO area you are in unless you move, so there's no point in worrying about it.

A case can be made that charges should be equalised across GB, just like the Royal Mail letter delivery service, but otherwise it's just academic.

 but my brain would still prefer that some geographical features, eg major towns were included. 

Cough cough

You should get that cough checked out

Some people just don't want to be helped.

For others, a good place to start for things like this are the LTDS documents or the network upgrade plans on DNO's websites.  The yellow map above was from an upgrade plan document.

Some will give you access to their GIS, but this is becoming rarer.  SP Manweb, the DNO in this query, even have a scrollable and zoomable map of their area here (where my first image came from): https://www.spenergynetworks.co.uk/pages/sp_manweb_heat_maps.aspx

For National Grid transmission, the equivalent to LTDS was SYS and is now ETYS.

With respect, I see no reason for that comment. 

You clearly know what you’re talking about, but assume a certain level knowledge which I believe is simply not shared by the majority of the population, or even the small minority who frequent this forum. Your use of acronyms is one example. 

I have thanked all who tried to help, and see no point in continuing this thread.

There's an interesting comment above that MEB even supplied parts of Bristol. This is correct as I'm in the Midlands area and I live in NE Bristol. Having ridden my ebike around a lot of country lanes I've noticed the power lines coming into my area all come from the north and then turn west so I'm guessing Oldbury and Berkeley power stations supply us. Look at the direction the power lines come from and that should give you an idea of how the grid is laid out.

Ahhh MEB.  The back half of the flying pig.

Yeah, they got a long way down that corner.
