Hosting capacity assessment
| Capacity type considered for hosting capacity information | Firm |
| Description for the criteria and methodologies used that lead to the published information | The assessment of connection capacities is based on existing and specifically planned switchgear bays as well as newly planned substations. This evaluation takes into account current grid utilisation and all relevant technical constraints to ensure reliable and realistic information. |
| Main assumptions/disclaimers behind calculations | The grid connection points illustrated on the grid map and the available grid connection capacities are based on the best available assessment and state of knowledge as of 1 April 2026. They constitute a non-binding indication of potential connection options. No legal entitlement to a grid connection may be derived from the publication of the grid map. Any connection request remains subject to a detailed technical analysis and assessment as part of a grid connection study. |
