Webinar Grid access, Federal Network Agency and Data Centres

As the AI sector and digital economy continues to expand, the surge in demand for energy poses significant challenges and opportunities for the energy sector in Germany. With the German Federal Network Agency initiating a crucial consultation on the "Procedure for allocating offtake capacities from grid levels above low voltage," it is imperative for stakeholders, including data centres, large heat pumps, battery storage systems, and electrolysers, to understand and navigate these developments effectively.

The webinar is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the consultation's scope, timing, and key features, along with its potential impacts on your operations. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate these changes strategically.

In this session we will cover the following topics:

• Overview of the German Federal Network Agency's consultation

• Impact of network connection capacity scarcity on the energy sector and data centres

• Crucial aspects of the consultation for strategic planning and future operations

• Q&A session with Simmons & Simmons experts

We look forward to your participation in this timely discussion.
