The agent's answer
The nearest substation is 178 m away (110 kV, according to OpenStreetMap). The land-use plan shows a commercial area, and the point is outside HQ100 and landscape protection. 24 MW of storage is registered within 5 km. There is no reliable status for water protection, so the responsible authority needs to confirm it.
Values from a real query on 2 Nov 2026, selected from the preset. The answer text is illustrative.
