MVA. NGED LTDS Capacity Heatmap, 27 Jul 2026 cut. A campus connects at 33/132kV — the BSP figure is the one that matters. Headroom is a planning figure, not a connection offer — and the demand-connection queue is not public, so any published figure can already be spoken for by an application the open data cannot see. Treat 185.1 as unverified until a free NGED budget estimate confirms it; that is the first next step, not a formality.
