Costs for additional assets (e.g. extension of substation Lubmin) are not included.∆ km = 84.4 kmAugust 29th 2022Slide 12:What we want: future-proofing north-eastern Germany as an industrial base!12Increasing industrial demand for green electricity in north-eastern Germany50Hertz corporate presentationSlide 13:Grids to integrate power from renewable sources and allow for electrificationElectricity will remain to be a valuable commodity.Electricity contributes to the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industrial processes.Electricity needs strongand flexible grids.Electricity is an indispensablecomponent for sector coupling.Electricity is primarily used forpower supply.Electricity should be fully exploited.1350Hertz Strategic Goal 100% by 2032Slide 14:14What is about to change in the next phase of the Energy Transition?DemandSupplyFramework/ Conditions++50Hertz Strategic Goal 100% by 2032Slide 15:15Ensuring timely, secure and customized grid connectionsInvolvement in hydrogen initiativesForward-thinker in green power supplyRoundtable – platform for dialogue between politics and industryView on repoweringImplementation of an optimized process for connecting grid customers+ Customized technical grid connection solutions+ Transparency regarding suitable spots+ Demand-oriented support for grid customersAnalysis of the repowering market and development of measures to reduce repowering barriersAnalysis of further possibilities for the "green power supply" of industrial consumers; support of industry initiatives and design of own approaches50Hertz as a platform for dialogue between stakeholders in the energy transition such as politics, industry, associations, NGOs, etc. to promote exchange and to identify joint solutionsParticipation in hydrogen projects for further technical advancements and economic testing of hydrogen as a future technology100% by 2032 – Specific initiatives50Hertz Strategic Goal 100% by 2032Slide 16:Vielen Dank
