Quick answer

Ask for documents, not descriptions. The connection offer or access permit proves capacity; the land registry extract proves ownership and charges; the urban planning certificate proves the use is allowed; the option or purchase agreement proves control. In Spain, also check the permit’s declared CNAE activity code.

What each document proves
DocumentWhat it provesWhat it does not prove

Red flags

  • “Near a substation” with no permit or offer.
  • A permit held for a different activity (Spain: CNAE mismatch).
  • Power-line easements across the buildable area.
  • Capacity quoted in MW without saying grid or IT.

Questions

Who can confirm capacity?
Only the network operator, through its study and offer. Published capacity is indicative.
