Projects expected to receive Gate 2 offers: Phase 1 (needed by 2030) 143.4 GW + Phase 2 (by 2035) 238.0 GW. Covers transmission plus distribution projects in scope of CMP435. Demand uses Demand Capability; storage counted once. Not included: 554.8 GW pushed to Gate 1 (205.7 self-elected, 217.3 failed strategic alignment, 127.3 did not apply, 4.5 failed readiness). The old queue was 'over 700 GW' (NESO results page). The live TEC register (13 Oct 2026) still lists 608.2 GW of not-yet-connected TEC increases (gate 2: 16.0, gate 1: 293.4, ungated: 298.8), plus 32.5 GW interconnectors and 10.2 GW in the embedded register, because contracts are re-issued gradually; do not add these to the Gate 2 figure. Peak: GB National Demand (ND, transmission, excludes embedded generation offset, pumping, exports) 45,924 MW on 2025-01-09 settlement period 35, computed from NESO demanddata_2025.csv; ND plus embedded wind and solar at that half-hour was 48.1 GW. ENTSO-E's 'UK' figure (1.48 GW) covers Northern Ireland only, so it is not used."

Waiting lists for transport capacity (requests that could not be granted because of congestion), not all requests in process. TenneT: 205 offtake requests (34.2 GW) and 156 infeed requests (26.1 GW), mainly industry, battery projects and data centres. Regional DSOs: 15,498 offtake requests (9,986 MW) and 8,558 infeed requests (5,693 MW), large consumers only (small consumers joined the list from 1 Jul 2026 and are not in these figures). A battery can appear on both the offtake and infeed lists, and some applicants file at several sites/operators, so the total overstates unique capacity. TenneT offtake list peaked at 65.8 GW (2024) before clean-up. Peak: ENTSO-E 2025. Cross-check: the capaciteitskaart CSV exports (https://capaciteitskaart.netbeheernederland.nl/api/download/voedingsgebieden.csv and tennetgebieden.csv, fetched 2026-10-16, current-year rows) sum to only about 39.5 GW (RNB 6.1 infeed + 8.2 offtake; TenneT 9.8 infeed + 15.4 offtake). The regional figures roughly match the report; the TenneT area figures are far lower than the report's 60.3 GW, probably because the map assigns only part of TenneT's list to congestion areas. Use the report for the headline and the CSVs for the map, and do not expect them to reconcile."
