Mission & Goals
TransnetBW operates the electricity transmission grid in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The network consists of around 3,200 kilometres of 220kV and 380kV power lines and more than 80 power substations, which connect the grid to the 110kV regional distribution grids. Together with our project partners, TransnetBW is currently working to expand this network beyond its control area, notably with the projects Suedlink and Ultranet, which are part of the German Network Development Plan , ENTSO-E’s Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) and declared as Projects of Common Interest (PCIs). As a transmission grid operator, TransnetBW is responsible for operating, maintaining, planning and expanding the transmission network. TransnetBW makes the transmission grid available to all market participants on transparent, non-discriminatory terms.

Communication Activities
We present our positions and recommendations by means of position papers, proposals for amendments, bilateral meetings and policy events. We are aiming at gathering relevant pieces of information concerning legislative proposals and political initiatives. Additionally, we participate in conferences and discussion forums, which gives us the possibility to be in constant contact with other stakeholders of the energy sector and to co-operate within ENTSO-E. We contribute to the afore listed policy work through our own studies and research on the operation and further development of the interconnected power system.
