Thanks for the PR @danielelerede-oet .

  1. Can you make it more clear where the grid connection costs are coming from? I tried searching for the term grid connection in the linked source documents without success. A page number or at least the original number taken from the sources would go a long way.

  2. Are those grid connection costs are only relevant grid connected units, or do they also include BOP costs? The questions aims to whether you want to add the costs on top of the existing entry, or whether you want to create a separate entry e.g. for grid connection costs for electrolysers, to keep the info separate. That would allow models in the future to also model islanded units.
