Backed by delivered scope in our reference mandate.
Low voltage is becoming an active part of the grid: heat pumps, wallboxes, PV and storage change load flows nobody used to measure. We order the projects around grid state estimation, digital secondary substations, redispatch and grid connection and put them in a sequence that keeps the grid stable and meets the deadlines.

NEST Gas: the rate of return is one parameter, the rulebook is being swapped
From the fifth regulatory period German gas grid operators no longer work under ARegV and GasNEV but under RAMEN Gas and GasNEF. What the change means for the cost review.
Read →Grid Scenarios 2027: What Sits in the Distribution Grid
Most of the 2027 scenario framework's assumptions are distribution assets. Via path B they land in your own regional scenario. Consultation closes 28.09.2026.
Read →Underground Cable Monitoring: DTS and RTTR
DTS measures cable temperature, RTTR turns it into a rating. Why that belongs in the congestion analysis due with the German grid plan on 31 October 2026.
Read →DERMS: Distribution Grid Orchestration
A DERMS forecasts and steers PV, storage, heat pumps and EV chargers in the grid. From 2029, Section 14a requires dynamic, measurement-based control.

Tan delta and partial discharge assess medium-voltage cables without digging. How cable diagnostics turns distribution-grid maintenance predictive.
Read →Grid Connection Bottlenecks for Charging Parks: Digitalising Grid-Operator Processing
Powerful charging parks wait over a year for their grid connection. Germany's 2026 grid connection package and digital grid-operator processes aim to change that.
Read →Transformer Online Monitoring: Condition-Based Maintenance for the High-Voltage Grid
Online monitoring makes transformers condition-based: DGA, partial discharge, hot-spot. Why that matters when a replacement takes 18 to 36 months.

Netze BW finds a third more vegetation risks with LiDAR, E.DIS cuts costs 30 percent with satellite analysis. What grid operators can take from it.
Read →AI Load Forecasting for Grid Operators 2026
Load and generation forecasting is now mandatory for distribution grid operators. How AI lifts forecast quality and cuts balancing energy costs.
Read →The Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS)
The Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS) connects national data spaces. What the EU roadmap of June 2026 means for utilities and grid operators.
Read →Digital Secondary Substations: Low-Voltage Grid in View
Digital secondary substations make the low-voltage grid observable: E.ON's rollout, around 28,000 stations by end of 2026 and the basis for section 14a EnWG.
Read →AI-assisted drone inspection of power grids: BVLOS and automatic image recognition
Grid operators inspect overhead lines and pylons with drones and automatic image recognition. What BVLOS flights make possible, which EU rules (SORA 2.5, U-space) apply and what TenneT, Netze BW and other operators already do.
Read →Grid Package 2026: Flexible Connection & EEG Reform
Germany's grid package and EEG reform want faster connections at the bottleneck. The redispatch proviso versus the EWE and EnBW FCA model, explained.
Read →Redispatch 3.0: Congestion Management with Flexibility
Redispatch 3.0 is industry framing, not law. How EVs, heat pumps and home batteries become grid flexibility, and what the DataFleX project tests.
