KO.NEP submits draft scenario framework 2025 to the Federal Network Agency for approval

On July 1, 2024, the Coordination Office (KO.NEP) submitted the draft scenario framework for the upcoming Gas and Hydrogen Network Development Plan to the Federal Network Agency for approval. The Federal Network Agency is now reviewing the draft scenario framework and preparing the consultation with the public. The public, including actual or potential network users, as well as affected network operators, in particular the operators of gas distribution networks, hydrogen networks that do not constitute a transport network, other pipeline infrastructure that can be converted to hydrogen pipelines and electricity supply networks, have the opportunity to comment. The 2025 scenario framework is to be approved within six months of submission of the draft to the regulatory authority. In doing so, the regulatory authority should take the results of public participation into account.
