Our strategy

Our grid subsidiaries will continue to expand both the transmission and distribution grids for electricity and gas, as well as for hydrogen in the long term. We are planning to invest up to €35 billion in grid infrastructure by 2030. Details on the goals, measures and assumptions can be found here. One key focus area of our activities is the expansion of the electricity transmission grid. The SuedLink and ULTRANET projects play an important role in this regard. We are also preparing our grids for the decarbonization of the gas sector. By way of example, our subsidiaries terranets bw and ONTRAS Gastransport are helping to establish and expand a national hydrogen core network.

We aim to increase the total generation capacity of our renewable energy power plants to between 10 GW and 11.5 GW by 2030. Details on this can be found here. An important milestone on this path is the He Dreiht offshore wind farm, which is being gradually commissioned from fall 2025. He Dreiht will have a total output of 960 MW. In addition to our offshore activities, we continue to expand our onshore wind and photovoltaic businesses. We are addressing the growing need for dispatchable generation capacity through the expansion of our pumped storage power plant in Forbach and new large-scale battery storage systems in Marbach and Philippsburg. At the same time, we are laying the groundwork for the long-term decarbonization of our thermal generation portfolio by building new hydrogen-ready gas power plants.

In addition to the commissioned power plant in Stuttgart-Münster, two others are being built in Altbach/Deizisau and Heilbronn. All three projects have a total capacity of around 1.5 GW.

In the area of e-mobility, we are continuing to expand our fast-charging infrastructure in line with demand. Our goal is to continue providing around 20% of all fast-charging points required in Germany. In the retail and commercial business (B2C), we will continue to rely on digitalization in relation to our sales of electricity and gas, while improving our cost efficiency. We also offer our customers a comprehensive range of products and services within the EnBW energy world (only available in german) that goes far beyond individual products.
