Yes, the map is only intended to pre-inform grid users on a first, high-level view on grid hosting capacities on top of already reserved/allocated capacities and a margin for low voltage connected future evolutions. However, when a grid user has a specific project, the existing processes regarding orientation and detailed connection studies are to be followed. Through such studies, Elia will verify several additional constraints which are not considered for this publication, such as spatial constraints in the substation, short-circuit current constraints, voltage constraints, etc.
Is there still a need for an orientation study in case the map shows sufficient hosting capacity?
