Closes # (if applicable).

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

Added the data source for "electricity grid connection" and explained that it corresponds to grid expansion costs

Actually, this entry is named a bit unfortunately. It should be called "distribution grid expansion for new assets" or something like that, because the actual cost of grid connection is already included in the PV / Onwind costs per kw.

I didn't want to brake downstream models, so i only updated the description. -> Has been renamed

Thanks!

I don't mind us breaking the naming convention if the current name is too misleading.

Should we consider this additional cost that would be attributed to e.g. distribution grid connected utility scale PV projects? Would it apply to any type of new generation or load asset, or is this RES specific? (-> if there is more info from the DEA, add to the comment)

Which name should we choose?

  1. distribution grid expansion costs
  2. distribution grid reinforcement costs
  3. distribution grid development costs
  4. distribution grid site development costs

I would prefer option 3. .

  • Add note with breaking change warning to release notes about the renamed entry.

I agree with @euronion about renaming + release note. All else looks good.
