Netzengpässe und Netzanbindungskapazität-Bottlenecks
Definition
North-south transmission bottlenecks (identified in search results as 'pressing issue') limit grid access availability. § 17 para. 2b EnWG permits 'Überbauung' (exceeding grid capacity with time-limited constraints), but manual negotiation between project developers and TSOs causes 12–18 month delays in finalizing terms. Cable pooling and flexible agreements lack standardized templates.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €1–3M per project in lost generation revenue due to capacity/time limitations; stranded 15–30% of bid capacity during grid congestion periods
- Frequency: All new wind projects in regions north of Ruhr/Frankfurt axis (estimated 200+ projects/year affected)
- Root Cause: Structural: 30 GW offshore + 150+ GW onshore renewable targets by 2030 exceed current TSO transmission capacity (target: 25M km global grids per Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge). § 17 EnWG amendments (2025) introduce flexibility but lack integration workflows.
