Bundesnetzagentur, also known as BNetzA, is a State Owned entity based in Germany. Founded in 1998, the organization functions as the German regulatory office for electricity, gas, telecommunications, post, and railway markets.
On April 30, 2026, Johannes Heidelberger, the Digital Services Coordinator (DSC) at the Federal Network Agency, published his 2025 activity report, stating that the enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA) has gained momentum in Germany. Previously, on April 27, the Federal Network Agency invited bids for 296.269 kW solar projects designated for installation on buildings or noise barriers, setting a maximum tariff of €0.10/kWh and a submission deadline of June 1, 2026. On the same day, Bundesnetzagentur, alongside Germany's four transmission system operators (TSOs), implemented new procedures for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). These updates include a new maturity procedure replacing the previous first-come-first-served queueing system, tightened planning laws for standalone BESS, the normalization of Flexible Connection Agreements, and an ongoing review of the §118 EnWG grid fee exemption.
