How this measure is built
- Definition
- The year-over-year increase in the amount of renewable capacity in advanced development stages waiting for a grid connection.
- Measure
- One slice of Grid connection capacity ( counting rule: awaiting connection, form: growth, segment: renewable ) . Maximum electrical power capacity that can be connected to the electricity transmission or distribution grid. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
