Revision of the Network Code on Requirements for Grid Connection of Generators
111 submissions from 108 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission lists 117 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 111 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.
Who showed up
90 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 7 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions. That is 12.9 industry submissions for every one from civil society.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

The ZVEI welcomes the fact that, with this draft update to the Network Code on Requirements for Grid Connection of Generators (NC RfG (EU) 2016/631), the European Commission is defining harmonised and definitive requirements for grid-connected electric vehicles. This lays the foundation for a uniform, Europe-wide certification of vehicles.
Energy Storage NL (ESNL) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the European Commissions proposed revision of the network code on requirements for grid connection of generators a.k.a. RfG. The revision comes at an important moment for the European electricity system.
Tesla supports the revision of the RfG. Europe would benefit from having a single set of grid connection rules for energy storage and for V2G. Harmonization is what makes mass-manufactured batteries and charging infrastructure affordable and scalable. It lowers cost for consumers and brings flexible, dispatchable capacity onto the grid when Europe needs it most. The Commission is pointing in the right direction.
Corsica Sole welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the public consultation on the proposed revision of the network code on requirements for grid connection of generators. Our detailed comments are set out in the document attached to this response.
Swedenergy supports the objective of RfG 2.0 to maintain system security and resilience, but the revised code must remain proportionate, predictable and based on clearly demonstrated system needs. Requirements should focus on capabilities that provide measurable benefits to system stability and should preserve long-term investment conditions for existing generation assets, including hydropower.
The draft regulation may have a significant impact on the costs, schedules and conditions for implementing new investments, as well as on the possibility of modernising and continuing the operation of existing assets.

It is considered that the draft Regulation should be supplemented by considering the following: 1.We do not agree with the governance model, according to which the Member States play an irrelevant role in the process of approving and implementing requirements. Article 7 (1) provides that the designated entity shall be the regulatory authority unless otherwise provided by the Member State.

Regarding this document, we believe it is necessary to distinguish between bidirectional AC and DC charging stations: For bidirectional DC charging stations, we have no objections to this document. When the vehicle feeds AC power directly back into the grid, the vehicle must comply with the specifications set out in this document.

Dear Madam, Sir, CENELEC welcomes the draft Network code RfG and supports its publication and coming into force. However due to the significant delay since the ACER draft in December 2023 it might be necessary that further technical items need to be modified.
- Article 15(5)(b)(i):The requirement for 8s response is very demanding for steam turbine units. The limit should not be set explicitly in this document but it should be rather mutually agreed in the connection agreement with the system operator. Following risks cannot be avoided: 1. Plant aux. equipment would trip within such abrupt load change leading to subsequent trip of STG. It might be e.g.

KIWA PRIMARA GmbH - accredited testing and certification body (EN ISO/IEC 17065). Kiwa Primara welcomes the revision of the NC RfG, in particular the strengthened autonomous capabilities, the inclusion of storage and V2G, and the response to the lessons of the Iberian blackout of April 2025.
The Open Charge Alliance would like to thank the European Commission for its continued leadership, commitment and constructive engagement in advancing a secure, resilient and well-integrated European electricity system. This ongoing work is instrumental in accommodating the growing penetration of renewable generation, electricity storage and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies within the internal electricity market.
The review of the electricity grid connection network codes is welcomed as an important step in supporting the energy transition while maintaining the security and reliability of the European electricity system.
This submission supports the draft's strengthened autonomous capabilities (fault-ride-through, LFSM, grid-forming) and their extension to Type A units and V2G, which address the loss of system inertia and the lessons of the 28 April 2025 Iberian blackout. For distribution-level stress, however, the draft legislates only one tier mandatory capability with binding operator instruction (Art.

1. Executive Summary: The Kinetic Risk of Software-Defined Grid Controls The draft delegated regulation rightly identifies that the mass-market proliferation of distributed energy resources, energy storage modules, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) electric vehicles demands rigorous technical harmonization to protect grid stability.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion.
