Our transmission grid
Reliable transport infrastructure for the supply of energy - today as well as tomorrow
We have been an infrastructure partner for the supply of energy in western Germany for over a century. Our pipeline network, which is around 4,400 kilometres long, transports around six billion cubic metres of natural gas to municipal utilities, industrial plants and power stations every year. We are continuing to gradually further develop our infrastructure to meet future demands; we are involved in the construction of the hydrogen transport network in Germany and, at the same time, we are expanding feed-in capacities for biomethane. We are therefore converting existing pipelines and, where necessary, constructing new ones. This is because we see ourselves as a reliable infrastructure partner for energy supply in western Germany - today as well as tomorrow.
Gas transport
Hydrogen
Hydrogen will grow in importance for the future energy supply. Hydrogen produced using renewable energy contributes to decarbonisation. Reliable hydrogen transportation requires high-performance infrastructure. Our pipeline grid in western Germany, which is around 4,400 kilometres long, provides good preconditions for this. To this end, we are gradually converting the existing pipelines and expanding the grid there where it is needed.
Gas transport
Biogas
Apart from hydrogen, biomethane will play an important role in the future energy supply. Today, we are already transporting biomethane through our grid and are expanding the feed-in capacities that are available for it. We are convinced that biogas makes a valuable contribution to climate protection and security of supply.
Gas transport
Natural gas
As a network operator, the reliable supply of energy is our top priority. Currently, we contribute to supply security through the transportation of natural gas and, increasingly, also with biomethane. Through the construction of the hydrogen transport network we are further developing this contribution for the future.

Our services
As a transmission system operator we bring more than 100 years of experience and we operate a transmission grid that is around 4,400 kilometres long. For over 100 years, we have stood for pioneering spirit, precision and feasibility. We not only apply our expertise to our own network, but also provide other network operators with advice and support as a service provider.
