The process

From grid connection application to commissioning

Five phases where projects worth millions get stuck. What NetzNow handles today. And where something is still in development, it says so.

Live today In development

Grid connection application & submission

Project developerPlannerGrid operator

What happens

The documents are compiled in compliance with VDE-AR-N 4110 (medium voltage) or 4120 (high voltage). Each of the around 850 grid operators has its own forms and portals. Completeness determines how quickly the case gets moving.

Where it stalls

If a detail is missing, the query only arrives weeks later. Every query loop costs weeks and blocks everything that comes after.

What NetzNow handles

  • Structured application capture: enter data once instead of retyping it into every portal. Live today
  • Rule-based completeness checks before anything goes out. Live today
  • Form generation compliant with VDE-AR-N 4110 and 4120. Live today

Grid compatibility assessment & queries

Project developerPlannerGrid operator

What happens

The grid operator assesses grid compatibility and raises queries. From this point on, query and resubmission deadlines are running. Miss one and your project moves to the back of the queue.

Where it stalls

An unanswered query means the project stands still. The correspondence sits in personal inboxes, and anyone not on the distribution list is in the dark.

What NetzNow handles

  • Automated deadline tracking for query and resubmission deadlines, with lead time instead of a reminder on the due date. Live today
  • Structured project correspondence in the system: every query becomes a case with a deadline and an owner instead of an email in someone's inbox. In development

Confirmation & reservation

Project developerGrid operator

What happens

The connection confirmation arrives, and the capacity has to be reserved. Confirmation and reservation deadlines run in parallel across multiple projects and grid operators.

Where it stalls

A lapsed reservation means the procedure starts over from the beginning. Months of groundwork are gone, and the capacity goes to the next in line.

What NetzNow handles

  • Monitoring of confirmation and reservation deadlines with lead time, before anything lapses. Live today
  • Clear case status across all projects: everyone sees at a glance where things stand, including whoever takes over. Live today

Construction & documentation

Project developerEPCCertifierGrid operator

What happens

The plant is built. In parallel, documentation, test reports, and the plant certificate come together: project developer, EPC, and certifier all need the same documents, and the grid operator expects them complete.

Where it stalls

Evidence sits scattered across inboxes, folders, and the EPC. Requests for missing documents arrive shortly before commissioning, exactly when there is no time left.

What NetzNow handles

  • Central document and evidence base: every document sits on the case, with a complete audit trail. Live today
  • Dedicated access for certifiers and notified bodies: work directly on the case instead of requesting documents by email. In development

Commissioning & registration

Project developerEPCCertifierGrid operator

What happens

Register the commissioning, enter the plant in Germany's Market Master Data Register (MaStR), demonstrate conformity. Only once everything is in place does power flow, and revenue with it.

Where it stalls

The plant is finished but not allowed to feed in because a document or a registration is missing. Every day of delay costs revenue: for projects worth millions, quickly a five-figure sum.

What NetzNow handles

  • All documents and deadlines from the earlier phases are in one place, so nothing has to be hunted down for commissioning. Live today
  • An end-to-end commissioning track including Germany's Market Master Data Register (MaStR). We are working on this right now. In development

We are building this phase right now, together with development partners. Build with us

Collaboration

One case, everyone involved.

Project developers, planners, EPCs, and certifiers: one shared record instead of scattered email threads. What that means for your role:

For project developers · Planners · EPCs · Certifiers

For partnerships, press, general enquiries, and hiring.

Build this with us.

Development partnerships for what's in development. Deployment today for what's live. 20 minutes is enough to start.
