Wattlas is an independent, source-backed grid-capacity intelligence publisher covering the Netherlands, expanding across Europe.
Long version (about 100 words)
Wattlas is an independent grid-intelligence publisher. It turns official grid-capacity data, published by transmission and regional grid operators and by national authorities, into source-backed analysis for teams making site, project and investment decisions, published as commercially relevant changes emerge. Every figure carries its primary source and a verification date. Coverage today is the Netherlands, built out region by region; the goal is coverage across Europe. Wattlas is a faceless publisher: there is no named author or spokesperson, and analysis is presented as the work of the organisation, not an individual.

Issue #008, Groningen and Drenthe
“In Groningen and Drenthe the transmission grid has off-take room while feed-in is the binding constraint, the mirror image of the rest of the Netherlands, with feed-in waiting lists of about 71 MW at Emmen and 83 MW at Delfzijl.”

Issue #007, Overijssel
“TenneT expects to resolve the congestion west of Zwolle and east of Hengelo structurally in 2035, through grid expansions that complete between 2027 and 2035, with the new Hengelo Oele transformers as the near-term exception.”

Issue #004, Zuid-Holland
“In the north of Zuid-Holland, keeping existing gas plants and greenhouse CHP available is, in the grid operators' own words, necessary to prevent grid overload until high-voltage reinforcement arrives between 2032 and 2035, and no flexible power has yet been contracted.”

Issue #003, Utrecht
“Utrecht province needs 320 MW of flexible capacity through 2033, bridging the gap until the grid is reinforced.”
