Bedarfsabfragen für eine leistungsfähige Wasserstoff-Infrastruktur

Für die Ausgestaltung leistungsfähiger Energienetze sind Angaben zur Entwicklung von Erzeugungs- und Abnahmeschwerpunkten wesentlich. Vom 07.02.2024 bis 22.03.2024 wurden in zwei nationalen Abfragen Bedarfe und Erzeugungskapazitäten erhoben, die in die deutschlandweite, integrierte Planung von Strom- und Gasnetzen (CH₄ und H₂) eingehen. Das Ziel: der Aufbau einer zukunftsfähigen Wasserstoffinfrastruktur.

Internal orders

Network operators directly downstream of terranets bw must, once a year for the following calendar year ("order year”), order the calculated maximum fixed exit capacity to be maintained at interconnection points or exit zones in the upstream network for the settlement of transmission within a market area.

Learn more below about internal ordering, capacity adjustment, long-term forecasting, and the definition of "protected customers.”

Ordering capacity

Once a year, directly connected downstream grid operators order the maximum exit capacity that can be held available at grid coupling points or exit zones in accordance with Sections 13, 14 of the Cooperation Agreement Gas. This order is to be placed between 01 June and 15 July of the current year for the subsequent calendar year (order year) respectively. Please submit your order via our customer portal ConnectCapacity.

terranets bw will reply to a complete, submitted internal order within 10 working days after the submission deadline with an acceptance or explanation for rejection. On granting acceptance of the internal order, terranets bw undertakes to provide the contractually agreed capacity at the grid coupling points or exit zones to your grid.

Long-term forecasts

As part of the internal order, you as a directly connected downstream grid operator of terranets bw make a non-binding forecast of your demand for capacity or reserve capacity in accordance with Section 16 of the Cooperation Agreement. The long-term forecast is to be resubmitted by March 1 of every even-numbered calendar year. The period covered by the long-term forecast begins with the next odd calendar year. The network operator must submit a forecast for each calendar year up to and including the calendar year 2045 and for the calendar year 2050. The differentiation of gas and hydrogen forecast data is based on the severity levels defined by the transmission system operator and the secured demand. Furthermore, the forecast data are allocated to the sectors power plants, households, commerce/trade/services, transportation, and industry. The forecast data are then incorporated as input into the draft scenario framework.

Please submit your long-term forecast using the central IT tool "Hydrogen Market Survey and LFP 2.0”.

You can access your submitted long-term forecast via our customer portal ConnectCapacity.
