Caparéseau — Capacités d'accueil des postes sources (S3REnR)

Published by RTE Réseau de Transport d'Électricité · FR · Unknown

Archived, pending reviewpending_reviewUnknown

Per poste source in mainland France, under each region's S3REnR: the capacity reserved for renewables, what remains to allocate, what is available without works, queued and connected, in total and for RTE and each distribution operator on the poste, in MW, with the poste's Lambert-93 location.

What is withheld, and why

Every value from this source is withheld. The operator’s terms do not clearly allow us to redistribute its figures, and when signals conflict the more restrictive reading wins until the operator confirms otherwise in writing. Records are still listed — with capacity.value null, access.status "withheld" and a link to the publication — so you know the operator publishes something there.

The publication is still read and kept, because operators overwrite their files and a history not recorded when it happened can never be recovered. If reuse is cleared, customers get the history as well as the present.

The data clause permits reuse with the source named, but says nothing of commercial use or redistribution, the next sentence forbids modifying or distorting the site's content (which a normalised API could be read as doing), and unauthorised exploitation is called « une contrefaçon ». Fail closed until RTE confirms in writing (grt-webmaster-rte@rte-france.com); target mode commercial_use_with_attribution, fallback derived_only. Clauses re-read live on 2026-09-26.

notes
["Keyed by the RTE poste code: always five characters in the file, right-padded with spaces (142 of 3,119, e.g. 'AIX '); trimmed, it is unique and is the code ODRÉ uses, carried as the rte_poste identifier (2,946 of 3,119 postes are in RTE's register; the rest are mostly planned postes such as 922AA).","Columns are read by their code in the first header row, never by position; the second header row holds French labels. The October 2025 file had 33 columns (INFO_MES, INFO_FA, GRD1_CTR, GRD2_CTR), the July 2026 one 31 (INFO_TX, INFO_ESS3R); both are mapped.","INFO_CR (reserved) applies once the scheme's works are commissioned: horizon target_year without a year, label s3renr_completion. INFO_NA (left to allocate, = max(CR − ESS3R − FAS3R, 0) on every row) is available/conditional; *_CDR (« disponible sans travaux ») is available/firm; *_FAS3R (queued, consuming the reservation) is allocated; *_ESS3R is connected.","Per-operator columns are variants rte, grd1, grd2, grd_htb of the poste's series, with the operator's name (Enedis for most GRD1 slots) from the region file in details. Never sum a poste's variants with its INFO_ totals: the totals are the sums.","An empty cell is the file's 'does not apply' (no second distributor on the poste) and produces no series.","A code the file lists twice with different values is two versions of one poste and nothing says which is current (October 2025: A.COM, 150.1 and 149.9 MW connected), so every row of that code is rejected; an exact repeat is kept once.","INFO_TX (fill rate), INFO_QP (cost share, k€/MW), INFO_TRF (reservation-transfer flag, kept with INFO_CR too), the works texts and GRD*_PTRE (transformer total, unit not stated anywhere) / GRD*_TRE are asset attributes, not capacity. Text is kept as published, mojibake included (the é of « Création poste » arrives as U+0082, a CP850 byte).","Coordinates: the region files give Lambert-93 integers (EPSG:2154, stored as such) and WGS84. RTE removed GPS data from its other publications for public safety; whether these are exact or degraded is not stated, so their precision is unknown and they are never improved on.","u_max is an index into the map legend; 3–7 are read as 63/90/150/225/400 kV (matched against the site's own legend), 0–2 stay unknown."]
