Hosting capacity assessment
| Capacity type considered for hosting capacity information |
Firm |
| Description of the methodology that leads to firm capacity results |
The available firm capacity is calculated at a substation level by subtracting the load recorded over the past twelve months (occasional extreme values being excluded), the reserved and waitlisted capacity, and a safety margin from the total installed capacity. |
| Please provide a description for the criteria and methodologies used that lead to the published information |
For electricity generation, grids are planned according to the N criteria, while for consumption, grid calculations are subject to the N-2 criteria. |
| Additional information |
Please note that some specific aspects of our capacity calculation methodology are currently being revised and finalized for publication. |
Additional information for connection request and hosting capacity information
| Connection request procedure |
To reserve injection or consumption capacity on the electrical network, each project developer must submit a formal request via the myCreos platform at my.creos.net. |
| Options available for the investors if the map shows 'no capacity available' in their interested area |

Each request for capacity reservation is subject to a detailed analysis, regardless of the available capacity shown on the public map. The assessment may include, in consultation with the project developer, flexible connection solutions (Flexible Connection Agreement) or, where applicable, network reinforcement solutions.
