Now tracking the distribution queue too. Every site of 1 MW and over in the six DNOs’ Embedded Capacity Registers, and what changed between editions. See the distribution queue →
The transmission connection queue
Every project in NESO’s Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) register, which NESO updates twice a week. QueueWatch shows what changed each time: connection dates that moved and by how much, Gate 2 offers, withdrawals and new owners, for every project, substation and company.
What no tracker can tell you is what a change means for your project. That’s QueueQuant, which prices what a delay would do to a specific site. It compares every route to power across thousands of possible futures, and shows which one holds up best and how to size every asset on the site. It weighs expected value against the downside, at the risk level you choose.
History from 29 Jan 2021. Latest TEC register 5 Nov 2026.
Status definitions (NESO)
Scoping: NESO is not aware that a planning application has been made.
Awaiting Consents: NESO is aware, or the customer has told it, that a planning application has been made.
Consents Approved: NESO is aware, or the customer has told it, that the planning application has been approved.
Terminated: used by NESO only in its register of 30 April 2021, for two projects that left the register the next month.
These statuses are NESO’s, not QueueWatch’s, and NESO describes them as “as far as we are aware”, so a project may be further along than its status shows.
The planning decision or stage for this project, from the Planning Inspectorate’s list of National Infrastructure Projects. QueueWatch matched the project to that record. NESO’s status can lag behind planning decisions, so the two may differ.
The planning decision or stage for this project, from DESNZ’s Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), July 2026 edition, with the planning authority and its reference. QueueWatch matched the project to that record. NESO’s status can lag behind planning decisions, so the two may differ.
The Contracts for Difference allocation round for this project, from DESNZ’s Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), July 2026 edition. QueueWatch matched the project to that record.
The planning decision or stage QueueWatch has for each project: from the Planning Inspectorate’s list of National Infrastructure Projects or DESNZ’s Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), July 2026 edition, where QueueWatch matched the project to a record, or read on the Planning Inspectorate’s page for the project.
“No source matched” means QueueWatch has not matched the project to a record in either source. It does not mean the project has no planning permission.
NESO’s status can lag behind planning decisions, so the two may differ.
Moved shows how far a project’s connection date has moved since 9 December 2025, the first register after NESO announced the Gate 2 to Whole Queue results. That’s where the reformed queue starts. For a project that joined the register later, it’s measured from the first register it appears in. Each project’s page shows its full history, back to January 2021.
