Investment and Financial Performance

In the first half of 2025, Gasunie invested €500 million in energy infrastructure, as reported in their half-year report. The company achieved a consolidated revenue of €838 million, marking a 20% increase from the previous year, primarily due to higher transmission tariffs in the Netherlands and Germany. However, total costs rose by 11% to €632 million, driven by investments in energy transition projects and increased personnel expenses. Despite these investments, underlying profit after tax decreased by 6% to €233 million.

Energy Transition and Infrastructure Projects

Gasunie is actively working on accelerating the energy transition and ensuring energy security. Key projects include the Porthos carbon transport and storage project and the hydrogen network at the Port of Rotterdam, both scheduled for completion by 2026. In Germany, the gas network is being adapted for hydrogen transmission. The HyStock hydrogen storage facility has received a provisional storage permit. However, projects like the Dutch national hydrogen network and the WarmtelinQ heat network are experiencing delays and increased costs.

Future Plans and Strategic Goals

Gasunie plans to invest €12 billion in energy infrastructure by 2030 to support Dutch industry, advance hydrogen and CCS development, and ensure supply security. The company emphasizes the importance of maintaining emergency gas reserves, given the ongoing demand for natural gas and its role in balancing renewable energy supply. Gasunie is preparing its infrastructure for future renewable gas transmission, aligning with blending requirements for biomethane and hydrogen in gas-fired power plants.
