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.

Annual peak load and load curve
The load curve in the form of the grid feed-in is the sum total of all feed of grid transfer points, power plants, and distribution networks into the maximum voltage network (network area 1) in the control area of TenneT TSO GmbH.
Load curve
In order to ensure that the load profiles are as up-to-date as possible, they are published on the following working day. The data is provided to the best of our ability and without guarantee. If it is not possible to determine or provide the values for technical reasons, there is no entitlement to them.
The load profile includes grid level 1 up to and including 31.12.2016. From 01.01.2017, it includes both grid level 1 and grid level 2. Contents were partly taken over from the legal predecessor transpower stromübertragungs gmbh.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 chart.
