Mission & Interests
Goals: Amprion is one of Europe’s leading transmission system operators for electricity. With 11.000 kilometres of extra-high-voltage lines, Amprion operates the longest transmission grid in Germany and thus supplies more than 29 million people. Amprion also performs overarching operations for integrated grid systems in Germany and Europe. Located in the centre of Europe, Amprion’s grid is an important hub for European electricity trading and provides transmission capacity at the interconnectors to its neighbours. Around 2.300 employees help make sure the lights never go out. To enable us to keep the network stable and safe and prepare the way for a climate-compatible energy system, we are expanding it in line with the needs and demands that lie ahead of us. By doing so, Amprion is taking on its share of responsibility for guaranteeing a sustainable future for the power supply, and for a secure and stable transmission grid in Germany and Europe in accordance with the legal requirements.
