Seven-year program contributes to critical infrastructure for country’s energy transition

Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been selected as one of several service providers under a multidisciplinary framework agreement with TransnetBW, one of Germany’s four transmission system operators, to support grid expansion programs critical to modernizing the country’s energy network and enabling increased integration of renewable energy.

Under the framework, Jacobs will provide multiple supporting services across both commercial and technical areas. The scope includes a broad range of capabilities such as project controls and risk management, engineering, permitting, environmental protection, system technology, site investigation and construction oversight.

These services span the full project lifecycle – from early-stage planning and environmental assessments through engineering, procurement and construction – supporting safe, efficient delivery while addressing regulatory, environmental and community considerations across multiple concurrent programs. Overall responsibility and project governance remain with TransnetBW.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Fiachra Ó Cléirigh said: “This award builds on our track record delivering complex transmission programs in Germany and reflects the increasing scale and integration required to modernize energy networks. By combining program management, technical delivery and environmental experience, we are supporting TransnetBW’s critical grid expansion while managing risk, maintaining regulatory compliance and enabling long-term system resilience.”

TransnetBW CEO Dr. Werner Götz said: “The energy transition and the growing electrification of industry and society place increasing demands on the electricity grid. Expanding and modernizing transmission infrastructure is essential to integrate renewable energy and maintain security of supply. Working with experienced partners such as Jacobs helps us deliver these projects efficiently and at the scale required.”

Grid expansion is essential for integrating renewable energy, maintaining security of supply and strengthening the European interconnected power system.
