Berlin, January 15 2026. The current draft of the Grid Development Plan (NEP) submitted by the transmission system operators (TSOs) fails to meet the requirements of a modern energy system and jeopardises Germany's industrial base. AquaVentus is calling on the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) to critically examine the draft and to demand substantial additions in the further proceedings, as well as expansions in the offshore sector that go beyond mere electrification.
