Transmission system operator managing Germany's regional power grid infrastructure
TransnetBW operates the electricity transmission grid serving 11 million people across Baden-Württemberg, running a hybrid cloud footprint (AWS + Azure) with containerized Java/Kotlin services (Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes) backed by distributed databases (PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MySQL). Active projects span AC-to-DC network conversion, ultranet/suedlink high-voltage buildouts, and asset lifecycle management tooling — reflecting a capital-intensive infrastructure operator modernizing legacy grid control systems while managing contract lifecycle and early-risk identification across mission-critical operations.
TransnetBW is the transmission system operator (TSO) responsible for operating, maintaining, planning, and expanding the electricity grid across Baden-Württemberg. The company ensures 24/7 power supply reliability to approximately 11 million residents and sustains regional industrial production. Founded in 1998 as a public company, it operates from Stuttgart with 1,001–5,000 employees. The organization balances grid expansion (new AC/DC network segments, ultranet/suedlink projects), asset management (lifecycle planning for high-voltage infrastructure), and operational stability (network security, data management, risk identification) across a heavily regulated energy sector.
TransnetBW runs Java, Kotlin, C#, Spring Boot, .NET Core, React, and Angular across cloud (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes). Data tier includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Cassandra. Enterprise tooling: SAP, Microsoft 365, Jira, Splunk, AutoCAD, Revit.
Major projects include suedlink (ultranet high-voltage transmission), AC-to-DC network conversion, grid control platform modernization, network asset management system development, and lifecycle management optimization for high-voltage infrastructure.
