Efficient infrastructures are the lifelines of a modern society and economy. They secure Germany's future. As an independent regulatory authority, the Federal Network Agency is responsible for sustainable competition, future-proof networks and strong consumer protection. We employ around 3,000 people in Bonn, Mainz and 44 other locations. In the "Grid Development Electricity Transmission Grid, System Stability" department, we determine the need for expansion in the electricity transmission grid and examine and assess the future stability of the electricity system. Both are necessary in order to manage the transformation of the energy supply to a system characterized by renewable energies. This will set the fundamental course for the success of the energy transition. The department is therefore caught between the conflicting priorities of engineering and energy industry analysis of the complex energy system, political expectations and gaining social acceptance. In this context, there are many opportunities to help shape the energy system of the future.
