Energinet — Grid Capacity Map TSO, production and consumption (Energi Data Service)

Published by Energinet · DK · Monthly

Grantedcommercial_use_with_attributionStale

Available production capacity (MW) at each of Energinet's 160 transmission stations, for the existing grid and for the grid with approved reinforcements, with the share of a typical year's production a 100 MW or 300 MW solar or wind plant could deliver, and the consumption capacity (MW, and % by season and time of day).

What is withheld, and why

Nothing is withheld. Values are served with the attribution the licence asks for: Source: Energinet (www.energidataservice.dk). Keep it with any figure you show.

Energi Data Service's terms put all data published there under CC BY 4.0, commercial use included, with credit and an indication of changes, and without suggesting Energinet's endorsement. The dataset's own metadata carries no licence field; the portal terms govern it.

Energinet transmission-station connection capacity

dk_energinet_tso_capacity_2026 · vGrid Capacity Map TSO, production and consumption (dataset 156, replacing GridCapacityMapTSO)

Energinet's calculation of the production and consumption capacity available at each transmission station, as an average over the hours of a typical climate year, on the existing grid and on the grid with approved reinforcements, with the deliverable share of a typical year's production for 100 MW and 300 MW solar and wind plants.

Capacity basis: operator calculated

The operator’s own caveats

Energinet: 'Values are indicative and the station values cannot be summarized.'
Kapacitetskort: the map is not a commitment by the grid companies or Energinet; every connection needs its own calculation, and the picture can be outdated the day after an update.

notes: ["One asset per transmission station code (TSO_station_abbreviation, with its voltage: 'ABA_150'); two records per station where both grid preconditions are published — existing_grid and reinforced_grid (the transmission grid with approved reinforcements) — carried in the series variant. 14 codes end in '--$', unexplained by Energinet; kept as part of the code.","Production: available_capacity_production_MW (available, MW; 'usually an average over all hours of a typical climate year'), and cap_{solar,wind}_{100,300}MW_pct: the share (%) of a typical year's production that a 100 MW or 300 MW solar or wind plant connected at the station could deliver. 'Solar' and 'wind' name no sub-technology the vocabulary has: technology unknown, the operator's word in details.","Consumption: cap_cons_MW (MW) and cap_cons_{summer,winter}_{hours}_{100,300}MW_pct, the % of a 100 MW or 300 MW consumer's demand available in four time bands per season (summer 1 April - 30 September). In the 2026-02-01 publication every consumption value is 0 while hrs_zero_cons (hours at zero capacity) is 0 too, which contradicts a 0 MW capacity: those values are flagged zero_with_no_zero_hours.","The dataset keeps all publications; only the latest publication_date is read, and older rows are counted in the run notes.","Energinet: the station values are indicative and cannot be summed."]
