Germany Power Grid Map

Substations, transmission lines and power plants across Germany on one map, from the extra high voltage network down to distribution substations, with the companies that own and operate them.

Tera power grid map of Germany and its neighbours with the layers panel open: the high voltage transmission network from the North Sea coast to the Alps, offshore wind connections in the North Sea, and nuclear, hydro, gas and wind plants marked across the country

  • Transmission and distribution

    Extra high voltage lines and substations in all four transmission zones, and the dense distribution network beneath them.

  • Generation and pipeline

    Operating wind, solar, gas, coal, hydro and storage plants, and projects still in development, each linked to its owners and developers.

  • Large loads

    Data centres and EV charging stations, so you can see where new demand is clustering.

Market context

How the grid works in Germany

Four TSOs run Germany's transmission grid, each in its own control area: 50Hertz in the north-east, Amprion in the west, TenneT on a corridor from the North Sea to Bavaria, and TransnetBW in Baden-Württemberg. Several hundred distribution system operators run the lower voltage networks, and most wind and solar capacity connects at distribution level.

The main constraint is moving wind power from the north to industrial demand in the south and west. HVDC corridors such as SuedLink and SuedOstLink are being built to close that gap, and until they are, redispatch and curtailment stay significant. For developers and investors, substation location and voltage level matter as much as resource quality.
