Additional information

Available, reserved, and waitlisted capacities are shown per year, station, and voltage level. In addition to the map, the website will also feature information on the total installed capacity of renewables as well as a breakdown of capacities per technology on a national level.

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 adding or subtracting (depending on whether one considers injection or consumption) the load recorded over the past twelve months, with occasional extreme values being excluded, as well as subtracting the reserved and waitlisted capacity and a safety margin from the total installed transformer capacity.

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 on TSO- and the N-1 criteria on the DSO-level.

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 https://my.creos.net/  

Options available for the investors if the map shows 'no capacity available' in their interested area

Connection request process

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.
