A score should explain a decision, not hide it.

Connection policy for new data centre applications, including matching dispatchable generation or storage, additional renewable electricity and network location assessment. At least 80% of annual demand must be met by additional renewable electricity generated in the Republic of Ireland, with a six-year glide path from energisation. Requirements and transitional scope must be checked against the actual application date and connection position.

A policy requirement is not evidence that a particular site has complied or has connection rights. Onsite or proximate generation is permitted; onsite-only generation is not a universal requirement. Do not retrospectively apply the new application rules to an earlier agreement without checking transitional scope. No fixed publisher update cadence is stated; PowerPlotr proposes a weekly policy check.

Implements CRU/2025236. For new transmission data centres at or above 10 MVA, nominated dispatchable generation or storage must match MIC after applicable de-rating and be delivered before energisation or demand ramp-up. Nominated generation is separately connected and metered and participates in the SEM. The stated offer-processing periods are approximately 7.5 calendar months where nominated generation and renewables already have offers, or up to 18 months where associated generation has newly applied through ECP-GSS.

These are conditional application-to-offer periods, not construction or energisation durations, and are excluded from energisation calculations. A complete application, linked generation status and fees matter. An offer is not an accepted agreement. Earlier applications can remain under CRU/21/124. Publisher updates are event-driven; proposed review is weekly.

Explains application-specific assessment of capacity, voltage, system stability, short-circuit effects and outages. Continuous demand above 50 MW is significant for the Irish 110 kV network and should focus on connection voltages above 110 kV. Dedicated loop-in connections are difficult to integrate and require wider system benefit.

General technical context cannot establish a connection point, headroom or capacity allocation for a particular site. Every proposal still requires operator assessment. Publisher cadence is event-driven; proposed review is monthly and after a related policy decision.

Pages 11 to 12 identify high-level potential on the 220 kV network around Galway, Limerick and Cork, subject to individual assessment and policy compliance. The overview considers greater Dublin fully constrained for new data centre development. It advises a prudent mid-2030s assumption for new connections in the identified areas because of work and outage programmes.

Regional opportunity is not site-specific capacity or a contractual right. Mid-2030s is qualitative operator context, not a bounded energisation window or a promised 2035 date. Earlier applications and agreements require their own transitional-policy check. Detailed heat maps are planned through the 2027 Ten Year Transmission Forecast Statement. No recurring publisher cadence is specified; proposed review is monthly.

Approves fault ride-through, rate of change of frequency and active power recovery requirements for existing and future transmission-connected demand facilities. The technical requirements include remaining connected within the specified voltage profile, withstanding plus or minus 1 Hz/s and recovering 90% of pre-fault active power within 500 milliseconds after fault clearance and voltage recovery to 0.9 per unit. Compliance is assessed at the point of connection.

The associated Grid Code amendment takes effect on 27 October 2026. This is a separate technical requirement from the December 2025 connection policy. Site compliance, an approved derogation and any demand utilisation restriction need direct evidence. Missing public compliance evidence means unverified, not automatically non-compliant. Publisher updates are event-driven; proposed review is weekly.

The CRU directs EirGrid to amend the Grid Code five weeks after the 22 September 2026 decision. EirGrid's Grid Code Modifications register labels this approval effective 27 October 2026. The letter applies the technical requirements to all transmission-connected demand facilities.

The effective date does not itself prove compliance or an energisation entitlement at any site. Review the decision, current Grid Code and any approved derogation together. Publisher cadence is event-driven; proposed review is weekly through implementation.

Indicates available transformer capacity for demand and generation at distribution substations. The download is labelled July 2026, but station capacity and demand contracts and offers are dated to Q4 2025, with 2024/2025 load readings. The publisher's stated objective is quarterly map updates. PowerPlotr proposes a monthly check for a replacement file and records the underlying data date separately from its label.

Transformer headroom is not guaranteed upstream network capacity, a connection offer, or site rights. HV locations are indicative. ESB's 6 to 9 month minor-works and approximately 2 to 3 year significant-station-work examples concern MV connections up to 10 MVA under stated conditions; they are not valid timing inputs for large transmission-connected pilots.

The DNDP identifies distribution investment and flexibility needs. Its Demand Capacity Headroom Report 2025 provides indicative headroom at existing 110 kV and 38 kV substations under four growth scenarios, with annual forecasts to 2030 and five-year intervals to 2050. The publisher says capacity workbooks update annually and network development plans every two years. Proposed PowerPlotr review is monthly.

Workbook headroom does not establish upstream feeder or transmission capacity, final site connections or rights. Future headroom can depend on planned reinforcement; verify the specific project's delivery and consent status. The checked landing page identifies and explains the workbooks; workbook cells have not been imported into the pilot.

The checked regulatory publication register lists Transmission Development Plan 2024, the 2024 Ten-Year Transmission Forecast Statement and current adequacy publications. This is the discovery and version-control entry for the earlier published development plan while the 2026 to 2035 draft is under CRU consultation.

A listed project is not evidence that it supplies a particular site, has all consents, or guarantees a delivery date. No reinforcement dependency has been assigned to a pilot merely from geographic proximity. The statutory development-plan cycle is two years; PowerPlotr proposes monthly checks for a new approved version or delivery update.

Consultation opened 7 October 2026 and is scheduled to close 20 November 2026. The linked draft is dated June 2026 and describes planned transmission works, contracted customer connections and indicative delivery timeframes. Development plans are published on a two-year cycle. Proposed PowerPlotr review is weekly during consultation and on publication of the final version.

This is a draft under consultation as at the access date. Do not label it final or treat its project dates as a site connection commitment. A named reinforcement must be matched to published site-specific connection scope before it becomes an energisation dependency.

The current adequacy publication assesses demand and generation over 2026 to 2035. It provides the successor resource-adequacy context to older Generation Capacity Statements, together with its main report, workbook, methodology and country assumptions. The main report's data-centre forecast considers projects already connected or with signed connection agreements at its study freeze date.

System adequacy is distinct from local connection headroom. The forecast is not a live site-level connection register and cannot establish a particular site's contracted or energised capacity. Publication and data-freeze dates differ. PowerPlotr proposes a monthly check for the next assessment, corrections or updated inputs; no fixed publication day is assumed.

Official search for appeals, direct strategic infrastructure applications and related cases, including grid works. The current authority is An Coimisiún Pleanála, formerly An Bord Pleanála. Search by case reference, location, applicant and infrastructure to match a site with grid planning decisions and conditions. Proposed review is weekly and whenever a relevant case changes.

A grid planning application, pre-application consultation or permission does not establish an executed connection agreement, import capacity, route rights or energisation. Check the actual decision documents and exact development boundary. A target decision date is not the decision. The portal has no guaranteed fixed case-update interval.

Weekly lists support monitoring of new cases and decisions. They are a discovery source for grid infrastructure and associated generation that may affect a site. Publisher cadence and proposed PowerPlotr review are weekly.

A list entry must be followed to the case and underlying documents before becoming a site-level power statement. Discovery of a nearby infrastructure project is not evidence of a connection dependency or capacity entitlement.

Explains direct strategic infrastructure applications and the pre-application consultation process, with separate guidance for applicants, planning authorities and the public. It is a route for discovering early grid and generation proposals before a final application or decision. Proposed review is monthly and on procedural change.

Public awareness of a pre-application consultation is not participation in that consultation, a permission, or a grid reservation. The existence of a consultation does not establish that a project will proceed. No fixed publisher refresh interval is stated.

Official portal for local authority planning applications. Use the specific authority register and case documents to establish published substation, cable, generation, storage and site planning scope. Proposed review is weekly for active pilot cases and when new documents are lodged.

Portal coverage and historical files vary by authority, so the original authority record remains necessary. Applicant statements remain applicant evidence unless independently corroborated. Planning does not prove a connection offer or agreement, and an indicative equipment rating is not contracted import capacity. No common publisher refresh interval is stated.

Official directory of connection registers and the Transmission Works Report. NESO states that its connection registers are published twice weekly. The works report identifies reinforcement schemes intended to facilitate connections.

Great Britain only. The TEC register concerns transmission entry capacity and must not be presented as a complete demand or data-centre import-capacity register. A listing does not establish a site's import agreement, conditions or energisation. Northern Ireland source coverage remains to be established.

Dated source library for Gate 2 Criteria, Connections Network Design and Project Designation methodologies, approved versions, consultations and subsequent correspondence. Use the applicable version and its Ofgem decision when checking a claim about reform gates.

A consultation, draft or submission to Ofgem is not proof of an effective rule. Direct transmission demand and distribution demand require separate scope checks. No individual site's Gate 2 allocation, accepted offer or delivery date has been checked in this source-registry stage. Publisher update interval is not stated; seven days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Operator announcement of the reformed delivery pipeline, including transmission-connected demand, with links to results and methodology. Establishes that infrastructure delivery and planning remain necessary after queue reform.

A national pipeline announcement is not evidence that a named site's agreement has been accepted or that its connection date is achievable. Later methodologies and site-specific offers must be checked. This is a dated announcement; seven days is a target to check for subsequent updates.

Landing-page description distinguishes connected and contracted network headroom and Network Development Plan constraints and solutions at the relevant substation levels. Provides demand and generation views.

Landing page and methodology description checked; interactive map data require registration and were not extracted. Headroom is indicative, future Grid Supply Point locations may be representative, and a colour is not a capacity reservation. Covers NGED's licence areas, not the whole UK. Publisher refresh interval not established; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Official demand-heatmap landing page within UK Power Networks' open data portal. The portal links the Network Development Plan, Long Term Development Statement, infrastructure map and large-demand dashboard.

The retrieved page requires login to view datasets. No headroom value, dataset version or individual project entry was available for verification. Scenario headroom is not an offer. Covers UK Power Networks' licence areas only. Dataset refresh interval not established; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Discovery lead for SSEN's generation availability, contracted-demand maps and headroom resources. Search-indexed descriptions identify network capability and substation information.

Direct retrieval returned HTTP 403. Current dataset version, live map content, demand values and publisher refresh interval remain unverified. Do not use indexed historical versions as current headroom. Thirty days is a proposed retry cadence.

This entry identifies a source to review. Its contents have not been verified for a site assessment.

Explains the transmission-demand access-capacity methodology, nodal and zonal constraints, security criteria, and treatment of power-electronic demand and synchronous compensation. These are demand sources and must be kept separate from generation access maps.

Published nodal capacity is a scenario-based network assessment, not a reservation for a site. Where synchronous compensation is included, the source requires its permissions, commissioning and effective operation. Applicable network and demand characteristics need site-specific study. Publisher update interval not established; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Official entry point for transmission-demand application and access-permit status and lists of qualifying demand applications. Use the relevant node and version when comparing applied and granted demand.

No named non-Irish site entry has been extracted in this preparation stage. An application, access permit and executed connection agreement are different evidence stages. Distribution applications need the relevant DSO source. Publisher update interval not established; seven days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Demand-capacity map and interpretation guidance for i-DE nodes above 1 kV. The operator states a minimum monthly update cadence and explains conditional nodes, possible reinforcement, transmission acceptability and the applicable distribution demand methodology.

Map values are informative and cannot be added across nodes or voltage levels. A site-specific study can refuse an application. A node marked 0* has no capacity in the published scenario and may require applicant-funded reinforcement. No individual node value was extracted for this registry.

Demand-capacity page for firm access at nodes above 1 kV, with downloadable dated files for e-distribución, EASA and Ceuta. The publisher states monthly updates using the preceding month's data. The authoritative values are the XLSX and CSV files.

Available firm-demand access is not an accepted site agreement. Capacities are not additive or simultaneous and upstream constraints need separate checks. The map was reported unavailable on the page. No dated file or site node has been selected here. Thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Official national-planning entry point linking the planning process and amendments, including the July 2026 amendment. Use the approved plan and relevant project documents to identify proposed reinforcement dependencies.

Plan inclusion is not evidence that infrastructure has consent, is funded, is complete or serves a named site. A proposed planning horizon must not be described as approved without its decision. Publisher update interval not stated; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Government notice confirms approval of the third targeted amendment of the 2021 to 2026 transmission plan. It provides national reinforcement context and a link to the announcement document.

The national amendment announcement is not a site connection approval, construction programme or capex rate card. Identify the exact reinforcement and its permissions before using a date. Thirty days is a target for checking later amendments, not a publisher schedule.

Official directory of transmission connection applications, conditions and refusals, substations without connection capability, common procedures and aggregate TSO/DSO information. PSE states these statutory disclosures are updated at least monthly.

Application, issued conditions, executed agreement and commencement of supply are separate stages. A published condition does not prove an agreement remains valid or its securities have been met. No non-Irish record has been populated from this register.

Dated position snapshot linked by PSE's current disclosure directory. The PDF separately records import and export MW, connection location, voltage, project stage, application, conditions, refusal, agreement and supply-start dates where populated.

31 August 2026 is the stated data-position date, not a verified publication date. Empty cells remain unknown. The current directory should be checked for a replacement snapshot before using values in an assessment. A historical row cannot prove current contractual rights or available network headroom.

Official DSO directory for applicants above 1 kV, linking a disclosure of planned connections and refusals labelled 31 August 2026. Provides a representative regional source alongside PSE.

Landing page and dated-file listing checked; individual file rows have not been reviewed. TAURON's territory is not the whole Polish distribution network. Publisher refresh interval not independently established here; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Official connection-process guidance includes deadlines and exclusions for issuing connection conditions. Useful for checking which administrative step a reported programme actually describes.

Time allowed to issue conditions is not time to energisation. No construction-duration input has been adopted. Applicable customer group, complete application and current legislation must be checked. Publisher update interval not established; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Discovery lead for the DSO's statutory application, conditions and refusal disclosures above 1 kV.

Official-domain result was located but direct retrieval failed with HTTP 502. Current canonical URL, file date, completeness and live disclosure content remain unverified. Do not use this entry as site evidence. Thirty days is a proposed retry cadence.

This entry identifies a source to review. Its contents have not been verified for a site assessment.

Official regional-network demand map provides distinct capacity and queue-status categories and links to the TenneT and combined views. Demand (afname) must be assessed separately from export (teruglevering).

Map shell and legend verified. The interactive data layer reported an error, so no postcode, substation capacity, queue value or reinforcement date was captured. Regional colour alone cannot establish available site import or a contractual right. Publisher cadence is documented separately in the map-methodology entry.

Official TenneT transmission-demand layer of the national capacity map. The separate TSO layer allows upstream congestion to be checked alongside a regional DSO view.

Layer URL and legend verified; map data reported an error and no area-specific conclusion was taken. An upstream network constraint must not be inferred solely from a DSO colour. No site allocation or connection date is established. Publisher cadence is documented separately in the map-methodology entry.

Explains combined, TenneT and regional layers; postcode lookup; planned reinforcement and target commissioning dates. States capacity information is renewed at least quarterly, more often for material developments, and queue information monthly.

The map does not disclose individual company applications. Planned reinforcement dates are target dates, not site energisation commitments. This dated methodology should be checked for later changes; thirty days is PowerPlotr's review target.

Historical operator notice paused new transmission connection agreements and lengthened screening and maturation processing. It explicitly excludes projects with an already concluded connection agreement. The initial period was three months or until an overview and additional measures were in place.

This was not a blanket cancellation of all Danish grid connections. Read with the May transition notice and October update below. It cannot establish the treatment of any particular site, DSO application or agreement. Seven days is PowerPlotr's target to check subsequent notices.

Operator notice says the initial pause ends after 3 June, with larger projects moving to pooled assessment using maturity, progress and network-friendly criteria. New agreements were not expected before autumn. Smaller and medium DSO customers could continue connecting in many places; larger DSO requests needed upstream clarification.

October's later notice gives the next stated allocation milestone. No site-specific capacity, execution date or energisation window is established. The general discussion of five to ten years for some very large connections is not a universal process duration and has not been adopted as a site-model input. Seven days is a review target.

Latest operator status checked before the assessment date. Energinet reports regulator approval of maturity and progress criteria and expects the first pooled capacity allocation in November 2026. The release links the regulator's decision.

A planned November allocation is not an award, signed connection agreement or energisation. Individual capacity and agreement status remain unknown without project evidence. The legal text linked from the release was not readable in this retrieval; see the discovery entry. Seven days is PowerPlotr's review target, not a fixed operator publication cadence.

Official decision endpoint linked by Energinet's October status notice. Retained for legal-text review before assigning any site-level policy-compliance conclusion.

Endpoint returned no readable decision text. Exact decision date, conditions, effective scope and exceptions have not been independently checked. Do not treat the operator's summary as a reviewed legal determination for a named site. Seven days is a proposed retry cadence.
