The energy sector is developing rapidly. The process of European market integration began some years ago. Its purpose is to create a single European market that enables market parties to trade gas and electricity across national borders easily and efficiently.

Transparency data
We provide transparency data on our operations on our Dutch and German transparency page and on ENTSO-E.
To transparency pagesE-Insights
Our vision is to be one of the most transparent Transmission System Operators (TSO) in Europe and thereby creating value for society. In this Energy Insights section we present selected energy related topics and show data, information and valuable insights.
Annual peak load and load curve
The load curve in the form of the grid feed-in is the sum total of all feeds of grid transfer points, power plants, and distribution grids into the extra-high voltage grid (grid area 1) of TenneT TSO GmbH
Load curve
The load curve in the form of the grid feed-in is the sum total of all feeds of grid transfer points, power plants, and distribution grids into the extra-high voltage grid (grid area 1) of TenneT TSO GmbH
To guarantee that everything is as up-to-date as possible, the load curves are published on the following working day. In so doing, the data is made available to the best of TenneT's ability. TenneT TSO GmbH accepts no liability with respect to this data. Claims cannot be asserted against this data, if it is not possible to determine or supply the data for technical reasons.
TenneT reserves the right to effect retroactive changes to the data if this is necessary for correction purposes.
Provisional annual peak load
The annual peak load corresponds to the maximum value of the respective load curve in a calendar year. You can see the annual peak load by selecting "this year" in the date range picker. The minimum and maximum values are marked with an arrow in the curve chart.

Annual peak loads of the years 2004-2023
The annual peak load in the form of the grid feed-in is the maximum total of all feeds of grid transfer points, power plants, and distribution grids into the transmission grid in the control area of TenneT at one point in time in one calendar year.
The information for the years up to 2008 was taken over from our legal predecessor, E.ON Netz GmbH.
