Making the energy transition happen
The secure and reliable supply of electricity is of fundamental social and economic importance, and at the same time, it is our central task and responsibility at TransnetBW. For us, however, sustainable action extends beyond secure transmission grid operation to a vision for future generations.

Our 2024 Sustainability Report – Demonstrating responsibility, shaping change
The year 2024 was marked by important decisions for the energy transition in Germany – and thus also for us at TransnetBW. New legal frameworks, the accelerated expansion of the electricity grids, and society's focus on security of supply and climate protection have had a decisive impact on our scope for action.
In our latest sustainability report, we show how we are living up to this responsibility:
As a transmission system operator, we are driving forward key infrastructure projects, investing in research and digital solutions, and creating the conditions for a secure, climate-neutral energy supply.
As an employer, we are committed to a safe, appreciative, and inclusive working environment—among other things, with an advanced safety culture and the signing of the Diversity Charter.
And as part of society, we are continuously working to minimize the environmental impact of our work—amid growing complexity and increasing energy demand.
The report documents our progress, but also identifies the challenges. It continues to voluntarily follow the German Sustainability Code (DNK) and is already aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in certain areas.
We invite you to see for yourself.
