TSOs launch joint market survey on infrastructure requirements for electricity and hydrogen

The electricity, gas and hydrogen transmission system operators are conducting a joint market survey on infrastructure requirements for electricity and hydrogen from February 3 to March 13, 2026. The survey serves to prepare the scenario frameworks for the 2027 electricity, gas and hydrogen network development plans and is intended to create a reliable, integrated planning basis for the future energy system.

The focus is particularly on power-to-gas plants (> 10 MW_el,), hydrogen power plants and hydrogen consumers and storage facilities. In addition, network operators record large battery storage facilities, data centers, power-to-heat plants, and planned load increases at industrial sites (each with a connected load of 10 MW_el or more).

Market players are invited to report their requirements via the query platform at https://infrastrukturbedarf-abfrage-nep.de/ by March 13, 2026. The full press release is available for download below.

One more note: On February 12, 2026 (10:00-12:00), the network operators are offering a joint public webinar for market participants and distribution system operators. You can register via the following link: https://eventmobi.com/website/marktabfrage
