Calculator · Grid connection delay
What does waiting for the grid cost your project?
Enter the capacity you need and the wait you have been told to expect. The calculator shows what the delay costs, and what an earlier start with a flexible connection or on-site power would be worth.
Result
Illustrative estimate from your own inputs. It is not a forecast, a connection offer or financial advice. The network operator decides capacity, terms and dates.

Simple formulas you can check.
- Value delayed by waiting = capacity × wait in years × value per MW per year.
- Years gained = wait − possible earlier start.
- Hours under a limit per year = share of the year × 8,760.
- Energy affected by limits = capacity × flexible part × hours under a limit. The calculator counts this energy as lost, which is the cautious case. A battery or shifted load can cover part of it.
- Value of the earlier start = capacity × years gained × value per MW per year, less the share of energy affected by limits.
- Extra cost of on-site power = capacity × average load × 8,760 × years gained × extra cost per MWh.
