 ..   The features listed below are not released yet, but will be part of the next release! 
 ..   To use the features already you have to use the ``master`` branch.
 
-* Adding `grey methanol synthesis`.
+`v0.14.0 <https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/releases/tag/v0.14.0>`__ (13th February 2026)
+================================================================================================
 
-* Align cost units for NREL battery data with PyPSA modeling, fetching investment cost and FOM for both `battery storage` and `battery inverter` instead of a single value for `battery storage`, which was instead representative of the full plant (battery storage + battery inverter).
+* Changed currency year from 2020 to 2025 for all cost assumptions using updated Eurostat inflation rates. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/263)
 
-* Add excess heat output rates for Fischer-Tropsch and Haber-Bosch processes.
+* Updated electricity transmission and offshore wind connection costs based on latest DEA data (https://ens.dk/en/analyses-and-statistics/technology-data-transport-energy, July 2025).
+  Aligned unit costs of offshore wind connection and general transmission. For offshore wind connections, included missing FOM. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/262)
 
-* Updated indexing of DEA Excel data for PTES and revised capital cost and FOM assumptions for 2045 and 2050.
+* Updated fossil fuel (gas, oil, lignite) and nuclear fuel (nuclear, uranium) costs based on TYNDP 2024 scenarios data. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/259)
 
+* Changed to DEA assumptions for Fischer-Tropsch and methanolisation. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/251)
 
-* Corrected units for standing losses of TES technologies from per unit to %/hour and changed parameter names from "Energy losses during storage" to "standing losses" as well as "Temperature difference" to "temperature difference" for naming consistency.
+* Fixed coal consumption of blast furnace steelmaking. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/246)
 
+* Added grey methanol synthesis. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/248)
 
-* Add standing losses as parameters for LTES
