RTE specifies that this campaign will be essential to determine the connection requests to the public transmission system of electricity generation facilities from renewable energy sources that will be able to benefit from the reserved capacities of the future revised scheme, in the first twelve months following its date of entry into force, in application of the new Article D. 342-22-4 resulting from the abovementioned decree (“the right of priority to HV-B”).

 
Organisation of census campaigns

We wish to inform you that the census campaign for the Grans Est region will be held over the period from:

16/12/2024 to 16/03/2025 at 5:00PM 

They require the project leaders concerned to use the service for viewing and reporting RE project forecasts accessible from the RTE Service Portal by following the link below, which also provides the information for requesting access: 

Declare and view RE project forecasts - RTE Service Portal (services-rte.com)

This service is free of charge. To request access to the service, obtain a user guide, or in case of any issues, project leaders may email: rte-fc-acces-declaration-gisements-enr@rte-france.com

For each RE electricity generation installation forecast located in one of the abovementioned regions or less than 15 km from its borders, the project leader is required to record or update the following information: 

• The primary energy source used; 
• Estimated power; 
• Geographical location, stating the INSEE code of the municipality or GPS coordinates; 
• The estimated date for commissioning of the installation

The project leader will also provide the connection voltage range for the installation if it is already known, paying close attention to consistency with the power provided by the project leader.

As mentioned above, the final rules for reporting on the service for viewing and reporting RE project forecasts must be agreed in CURTE, especially concerning: 

•  The rules for reporting groupings of several generation facilities for connection to the public transmission system, in particular within the framework of a group of generators  ; 
•  the date of the last update from which a generation facility forecast will not be taken into account in the construction of RE generation facilities as considered obsolete.

 In the meantime, for this census campaign, RTE requires: 

• thinking in terms of the perimeter of the future applicant for connection and indicating an HV-B connection voltage domain in the case of groupings of several generation facilities likely to make a connection request to the public transmission system. 
• declaring that its generation facility forecast portfolio is correctly updated during the period of the announced census campaign. If the last update date of a generation facility forecast is prior to 30 June 30 2024, it will not be taken into account in the preliminary assessment of the total power to be connected.
