A milestone on the way to the diversification of import sources and permanent independence from Russian gas
Today, the German gas transmission system operators (TSOs) presented their draft Gas Network Development Plan 2022-2032, which reflects the fundamental shift in Germany’s energy supply. The proposal is designed to facilitate the changes needed for the network to accommodate the new LNG supplies into Germany and Europe and allow greater use of western import routes while also reflecting reduced gas demand as well as efforts to switch to hydrogen with a view to making Germany fully independent of Russian gas.

Invitation Consultation Workshop Gas NDP 2022-2032
Transmission capacities for LNG facilities help to ensure secure energy supplies
Transmission system operators (TSOs) today launch the consultation on the 2022-2032 gas network development plan (NEP Gas). The new LNGplus supply security variants take into account the profound changes in the energy supply situation. Measures to connect LNG plants and provide the necessary transport capacities are being implemented at full speed by the TSOs. The first grid connections for LNG plants will be completed by the end of 2022.

- Three new modelling variants (LNGplus security of supply variants) for replacing Russian gas volumes with LNG and hydrogen
- Updated natural gas demand forecasts for the LNGplus variants
- 30 September 2022: Deadline for capacity reservation and network expansion requests for LNG facilities (sections 38 and 39 of Gas Network Access Ordinance – GasNZV)
- 16 October 2022: Deadline for comments on the expanded Scenario Framework
Transmission system operators announce consultation
- Three new modelling variants (LNGplus) for replacing Russian natural gas with LNG and hydrogen
- Updated demand forecasts for natural gas for LNGplus
- Three-week consultation on an expanded Scenario Framework commences on 26 September 2022
- Deadline for capacity reservation and network expansion requests for LNG facilities expires on 30 September 2022
TSOs present hydrogen report: This is what we need to successfully develop the hydrogen infrastructure
Germany must accelerate the ramp-up of hydrogen in order to secure supplies and promote climate protection. The hydrogen report submitted today by the transmission system operators in accordance with Section 28q of the German Energy Act (EnWG) shows how the necessary transport infrastructure can be built efficiently, quickly and in a targeted manner by integrating hydrogen network planning into the tried-and-tested gas network planning.

In a publication dated December 17, 2021, FNB Gas e.V. called on current and potential hydrogen network operators to participate in the development of the process for a common hydrogen network in Germany. The invitation of the transmission system operators was accepted by 12 potential hydrogen network operators and together with the transmission system operators they developed, intensively discussed and approved the process.
On March 21, the modeling for the hydrogen variant will be started by potential hydrogen network operators who have participated in the process development of the positive planning and/or have reported pipeline infrastructure for hydrogen transport as well as the transmission system operators. Until the modeling of the hydrogen variant of the Gas Network Development Plan 2022-2032 is completed in May 2022, regular workshops will be held among stakeholders to develop the hydrogen variant.
