Straight answers

Why is it free?

Substralis is built and run as an independent project, not a venture. Opening it creates more value — for the people siting real projects and for the public conversation about grid scarcity — than gating it ever would. An account keeps user features possible and helps us understand usage.

What is the catch?

There is no catch, but there is an honest trade: Substralis runs on a best-effort basis. Data updates follow the operators' own publication cadence, and there is no service-level agreement. What you see is exactly what official sources publish — never estimated, never interpolated.

Will paid plans come back?

There are no paid tiers and none planned. If your organisation needs data licensing, an API contract, or a partnership, get in touch and we will figure out whether it makes sense.

Some markets carry a Preview label — what does that mean?

Preview is a data-quality label, not an access level. Those markets are fully included in the free account; the label marks that their source coverage is younger than Norway, Denmark and Great Britain. Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland and France carry it today.

Substralis reports the connection capacity, queue positions, and grid data that operators and authorities publish, with the source and publication date on every figure. A published capacity figure is a signal from the operator's own disclosure — it is not a guarantee that a connection of that size can be contracted. Connection offers are made only by the grid operator through its own process. Where a country does not publish something, we say so; we never estimate or interpolate. Substralis is provided as-is on a best-effort basis, with no service-level agreement.
