Site search

Filter 19,461 candidate sites near substations in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany, 731 of them Dutch business parks with land for sale, by area, distance to the substation, its voltage, headroom or congestion, the nearest transmission substation, distance to Natura 2000, zoning, kind of site, environmental category, permits nearby, farmland price and water stress, ranked by site score. Every result links to its site page. Each country keeps its 5,000 largest candidates, so it holds every candidate of 29 ha or more in the Netherlands (of 22,834 candidates), 27 ha or more in the United Kingdom (of 44,093 candidates) and 50 ha or more in Germany (of 308,259 candidates).

Filter sites

Results update as you type and the address bar keeps the filters, so a search can be shared. Each country offers the filters its public data allows. Distance, voltage, headroom and network operator are those of each site's nearest substation only: a site 0.5 km from a 150 kV substation and 1.5 km from a 380 kV one counts as 150 kV, and a voltage search does not find it. For that, the Netherlands and Germany have a filter on the distance to the nearest 380 kV substation. How the score works: Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany.

78 of the 8,730 sites the search holds for the United Kingdom match: sites in Barnet. Sorted by site score.

Permits nearby: planning projects within 5 km with permission, under construction or applied for (REPD, NSIP) and brownfield land with permission. Water stress: baseline water stress of the site's sub-basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0): withdrawals as a share of the renewable water supply. Designations: the planning.data.gov.uk designations a site overlaps by 1% of its area or more; "not in" keeps only sites where that designation's data covers the council. Sites: the 5,000 largest of the 44,093 candidate sites near a primary or bulk supply substation with headroom, so every candidate of 27 ha or more is here and the rest are smaller; brownfield register sites come on top, at any size. Congestion: the network operator's status for new demand at the substation.

Every search here is one plain GET, with no JavaScript needed. Put the filters in the address and /sites/search answers with the matching sites as an HTML table: the first 100, in the order this page sorts them, with the number of all matches and the filters restated in a sentence. /api/sites takes the same filters and answers JSON: every site's facts as named fields and its page's URL, 100 at a time (limit, up to 1,000, and offset page through the matches). A filter that a country's data lacks is left out, and the answer says which and why.

For AI assistants, every search is also a plain link of /key/value pairs, without a query string, and each answer links to the narrower and wider searches from it: /api/sites is the start, and the API page has the prompt to give Claude or ChatGPT.

Parameter	What it filters
`country`	NL, GB or DE (default NL)
`region`	a province (NL), local authority (GB) or Land (DE): its key, URL slug or name
`min_ha`	minimum area in hectares
`max_km`	maximum distance to the nearest substation, km
`kind`	NL: park, on_park, parcels; GB: brownfield, parcels
`min_category`	NL: minimum environmental category of a business park (1 to 6)
`min_kv`	NL, DE: minimum voltage of the nearest substation, kV
`max_tso_km`	DE: maximum distance to the nearest transmission substation (220 kV and up), km
`min_tso_kv`	DE: minimum voltage of that transmission substation (220 or 380)
`max_ehv_km`	NL, DE: maximum distance to the nearest 380 kV substation, km, even where a lower-voltage substation is nearer
`dno`	GB: network operator of the nearest substation, a group (Northern Powergrid) or one licence area
`min_mw`	GB: minimum demand headroom at the nearest substation, MVA or MW
`congestion`	GB (NL once public: the TenneT station): congestion for new demand, none or none,limited
`regional`	NL, once public: the regional operator's offtake status at the site's postcode, none, limited, waitlist or full; it binds a medium-voltage connection
`min_n2k`	NL: minimum distance to Natura 2000, km
`outside_n2k`	NL: 1 for outside Natura 2000 areas
`zoning`	NL, DE: zoning class of the plan, e.g. industrial,commercial
`land_use`	DE: land use in the cadastre
`desig`	GB, DE: in:<designation>, out:<designation> or none
`min_permits`	NL, GB: minimum permits nearby
`min_areas`	DE: minimum designated wind or solar areas within 5 km
`max_price`	NL: maximum farmland price, EUR/ha
`max_water`	maximum water stress: 0 low to 4 extremely high, or low, low_medium, medium_high, high, extremely_high
`sort`	score (default), ha, km, n2k_km, headroom, kv, tso_km, ehv_km, permits, areas, price, water, category
`touching`	1 to include sites ruled out in review
`ranked`	1 for ranked sites only (leaves out sites that touch their substation)

Distance, voltage, headroom and network operator are those of each site's nearest substation; in Germany also of its nearest transmission substation.

Examples

Gelderland: plots of 20 ha or more within 2 km of a 380 kV substation and at least 1 km from Natura 2000: /sites/search?country=NL&region=NL-GE&min_ha=20&max_ehv_km=2&min_n2k=1 (JSON)
Yorkshire and the North East: brownfield sites of 10 ha or more within 1 km of a Northern Powergrid substation with 30 MVA or more of demand headroom: /sites/search?country=GB&min_ha=10&max_km=1&kind=brownfield&dno=Northern+Powergrid&min_mw=30 (JSON)
Germany: plots of 50 ha or more zoned industrial in the land-use plan within 1.5 km of a 380 kV transmission substation: /sites/search?country=DE&min_ha=50&max_ehv_km=1.5&zoning=industrial (JSON)

The whole index behind this search is one JSON file per country (Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany). Its columns name each site's fields, word fields are indexes into the lists of the same name (dnos, zonings), and a site's page is /sites/{country}/{area slug}/{leaf}.

Browse by country and area

Netherlands 5,731 sites

United Kingdom 8,730 sites

Germany 5,000 sites
