01 · Overview

At a glance

Total queued capacity across the three markets, broken out by technology. Germany's queue is TSO connection request data — BESS is the only technology the TSOs publish at this granularity, so PV, wind, and hybrid totals cover the UK and France only.

    03 · Regulation

    Status, compared

    A side-by-side view of the regulatory variables that move developer IRR most.

    04 · Reforms

    What’s actually moved

    What’s changed across the three markets we track. Open a country for its full reform timeline.

      05 · Signals

      Latest developments

      A filterable news feed across grid, auctions, regulation, co-location, and permitting. One place instead of monitoring three TSO and regulator sites.

      06 · Method

      How we source it

      Sources behind the page and how often the data updates, so the numbers can be trusted.

      Tier 1 · Quantitative queue data

      NESO TEC Register (UK, refreshed twice weekly), TSO connection request disclosures from 50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT, and TransnetBW (Germany, February 2026), and RTE Open Data + Enedis (France, refreshed quarterly). Germany's figure is the TSO connection request volume — the number cited in trade press. BESS is the only technology the German TSOs break out at this granularity. UK and France data is published under open licences and reused with attribution — see the licence panel below.

      Tier 2 · Regulatory status

      Hand-curated from primary regulators, jurisdictional law-firm updates, and trade associations. Refreshed monthly.

      Tier 3 · Live news

      Aggregated weekly from pv-magazine, energy-storage.news, PV-Tech, ess-news, and reNews. Tagged by country and topic, ranked by relevance.

      Why three markets, not six? The UK, Germany, and France publish their grid data under open licences that permit attributed reuse. Italian (Terna), Spanish (REE), and Dutch (TenneT) sources carry restrictions or qualified terms — we’d rather link to the original than reprocess data we don’t have the right to. We’re working on those markets next.
