On June 23th 2022, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection declared the alert level of the gas emergency plan (the early warning level was declared on March 30th 2022). This is intended if a significant deterioration in the supply situation is feared. The gas flows from Russia have decreased continuously in the last weeks, so there has been a significant deterioration in the gas supply situation for the winter period 2022/2023.

Despite the current market environment, bayernets ensures a high level of transport availability together with the other transmission system operators (TSO). Given the current supply situation, measures that are necessary are been taken in order to ensure the grid stability. As a result, the transport networks are currently balanced and there are no transport problems. The TSOs have no influence on the availability of gas volumes and the development of gas prices. The shippers are responsible for the trading portfolios for supplying the customers.
