Network transparency

As a transmission network operator, we provide transparent information about any ongoing measures and we comply with all publication obligations that arise in connection with operating a transmission system.

Network information

Check, if your construction project is located in the area of any of our or other pipelines.

Network information

Our high-pressure natural gas pipelines are located underground and well protected. However, they can be damaged by diggers. Construction companies, planning offices, and private home-builders are therefore legally required to seek information regarding any supply lines that are located within the area of their construction project. Such clarification is necessary to ensure that the pipelines are safe.

The corresponding information about our network and those of many other infrastructure providers is available free of charge from BIL Leitungsauskunft.

Construction and maintenance work

We ensure safety and our pipe network is subject to continuous maintenance work. Our current measures are listed here.

Construction and maintenance work

To ensure that our pipe network is safe and to be able to guarantee uninterrupted energy supply, we continuously carry out service and maintenance work as well as smaller construction measures. Here is a list of our latest measures:

Other transmission system operators’ maintenance work

Gas Network Development Plan

The basis for the development of natural gas infrastructure in Germany.

Gas Network Development Plan

The Gas Network Development Plan (NDP) forms the basis for the development of natural gas infrastructure in Germany. It provides that in the long-term future, transmission networks are always adjusted to the requirements at the time.

The NDP is developed by all transmission network operators in Germany. The general public and market participants are involved in discussing the NDP, and it is approved by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur).

Further information and the latest drafts of the NDP are available from the website of the association of transmission system operators FNB Gas.

On 7 July 2025 the fifth cycle to identify incremental capacity to be created will begin. Until 1 September 2025, the transmission system operators will receive non-binding demand indications from participants requesting additional capacity at THE-cross-border points. If both the capacity requests and the fees to be paid in accordance with Article 26(11) of Regulation (EU) 2017/459 are received on time, the capacity requests are analyzed and the results published in market demand reports.
