The decision authorizes transmission operator RTE to anticipate and share works for new consumer and public distribution-network connections. The plan aims to add 2,500 MW by end-2029 to 600 MW of existing residual capacity. CRE estimates gross works costs at €636.4 million in 2025 economic conditions. This is not solely the amount billed to new users: the decision sets chargeable costs and a per-MW contribution separately. The capacity does not establish that all anticipated industrial demand will materialize. ## Data ### CRE approves 2,500 MW of new connection capacity for Fos-Lavéra CRE approves 2,500 MW of new connection capacity for Fos-Lavéra Methodology: Figures attributed to CRE.
