Supplementary notes

Wind capacity is shown on declared net capability basis, and de-rated to account for intermittency, by factors of 0.365, 0.43 and 0.17 respectively.

Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) is a Connection and Use of System Code term that defines a generator's maximum allowed export capacity onto the transmission system. The TEC register provides a publicly available record of the existing allocation of Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC), the business it is allocated to and the site details.

This data only covers major power producers.
