BNetzA opens a procedure for definingtraction current grid access

At the beginning of 2019, the BNetzA opened a procedure for the further development of business processes for access to the traction current grid with a market consultation. The procedure for defining should improve transparency and lia­bility of the access rules, data formats and communication deadlines for all market partners (electricity suppliers, TOCs, vehicle owners and DB Netze Energy as the operator of the traction current grid). DB Netze Energy has introduced its own proposals to this end and welcomes this further development, which is expected to be adopted in spring 2021.
