Embedded Register
Summary
NESO publishes a register of embedded generation projects in Scotland that are connected or contracted to connect. The register will add a 'Gate' column from 21 November 2025 to distinguish Gate 1 and Gate 2 agreements under the Connections Reform process. Capacity data currently shows aggregated figures across stages and technologies, creating potential duplicates.
Why it matters
A routine data publication that provides visibility into the Scottish embedded generation pipeline. The addition of Gate classification reflects the ongoing Connections Reform but does not change connection processes — it merely labels existing agreements.
Key facts
- •Gate column added from 21 November 2025
- •Covers Scottish embedded generation projects
- •Capacity aggregated across stages and technologies

Memo
A list of connected or contracted to connect embedded generation projects in Scotland. \*\*NOTE:\*\* Following updates to CUSC paragraphs 6.30.3.2 and 6.35.2, the Embedded Registers will include an additional column called “Gate” from 21st November,2025 indicating whether agreements are classified as Gate 1 or Gate 2. This column will be populated once agreements have been countersigned. Until that point, the field will remain blank. Please note: 1) Capacity across stages and technology types is currently presented in aggregate, which may result in duplicate entries. This will be refined as the register process evolves, with future updates aiming to split capacity by stage and technology to improve clarity and accuracy. 2) This approach ensures transparency while reflecting the current status of agreements under the Connections Reform process.
