The newly published "enPORTAL grid fee analysis 2025" documents the historical development of grid fees for electricity and gas since 2021 and shows how strongly regional developments diverge. While increases of between 7.5 and 13 % are available in the electricity sector in most of the regions analysed for 2025 - Dresden remains the exception with a slight reduction - the grid fees for gas are advancing this year with record-breaking increases of up to 61 percent. In view of the continuous rise in energy costs and the complex price structures of over 880 individual network operators in Germany, companies from industry, SMEs and the textile sector are faced with the challenge of keeping track of everything - especially if they are spread across Germany. Digital solutions such as the energy platform enPORTAL connect provide the necessary insight to access well-founded, up-to-date energy data at any time. The 25-page brochure "enPORTAL grid fee analysis 2025" can be downloaded free of charge from the platform operator's website.

Historical developments and current trends

The new "enPORTAL grid fee analysis 2025" documents developments since 2021 and shows that grid fees in the electricity sector recorded the highest increase last year since monitoring began. With the exception of Dresden, increases of between 7.5 and 13 per cent can be expected for 2025. In Dresden, where prices were 64 per cent higher in the previous year, a slight reduction of 0.3 per cent is expected. In the gas sector, on the other hand, record-breaking increases are on the cards for 2025 - the grid fees here will rise by between 9.6 and 61.4 per cent. Companies in Dresden in particular will have to reckon with considerable additional costs, as a single consumption point here will incur additional costs of up to 39,635 euros for gas.

Focus on regional differences

Based on five exemplary locations - Hamburg, Dresden, Munich, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt - it becomes clear how differently the grid fees have developed since 2021. The analysis provides companies with a medium-voltage connection with a detailed overview of additional or reduced costs and shows how comparable consumption in different regions can lead to widely varying costs.

Digital solutions for more transparency

In view of these complex price developments, the digital platform enPORTAL connect an efficient solution. Customers receive all relevant energy data via a personal login on the energy platform - from current grid charges and historical developments to detailed information on individual consumption points. The consistently correct and comprehensive data basis is ensured by the long-standing cooperation with ene't GmbH, which has been responsible for data maintenance since 2008.

Practical support for companies

The "enPORTAL grid fee analysis 2025" is aimed specifically at energy buyers and managing directors from industry, SMEs and commerce. It serves as a practical explanation to better understand the effects of regional price developments on energy costs and to recognise the advantages of digital solutions in the energy environment. "Our grid fee analysis 2025 shows that only digital platforms - and not Excel - can provide an overview and quickly recognise cost changes by constantly updating and automatically linking energy data," says Clemens Graf von Wedel, Managing Director of enPORTAL.
