Reservation of Capacities for the Hydrogen Core Network starting Mar 19 2026
Market Information 2 from the core network operators builds on the previously published Market Information 1 and contains all the key points relating to the planned reservation process and the timeline. With the option of reserving capacity, you benefit from early planning security for the subsequent booking of hydrogen transport capacity. All details on the reservation fee can be found in the price list. The subsequent capacity booking then replaces the capacity reservation.
*The capacities published in Market Information Package 2 represent the initial capacity framework based on the infrastructure to be commissioned between 2026 and 2029. This provides the foundation for a hydrogen ramp-up in all areas already connected to the core hydrogen network. The capacity framework was determined using conservative assumptions due to the distribution and location of capacity requirements being unknown in advance. As the market develops and the specific location of demand becomes clear, the capacity framework within a cluster may increase. It is expressly provided that requests may be submitted that exceed the reported capacity supply in supply zones and for cross-cluster transports. These requests are reviewed by the network operators and may lead to a needs-based reassessment of the capacity supply as part of a case-by-case review. For cross-cluster transport, this could reduce the clearing price or even eliminate it entirely if all requests for the same hour can be fulfilled.
