Towards a successful energy transition in a sustainable world

As one of the four transmission grid operators in Germany, 50Hertz is responsible for high-voltage power transmission; high-voltage transmission is the key level for the stability of the grid and a secure electricity supply in Germany and Europe. We are part of a European grid association and work directly alongside colleagues throughout Europe. 50Hertz is part of a European company, alongside the Belgian grid operator Elia: the Elia Group. We work together closely in many key areas. Individual activities such as IT or purchasing are organised at the group level, which means that in these areas’ colleagues from Elia and 50Hertz work in a team from both Berlin and Brussels.

50Hertz - an excellent employer

Diversity, equal opportunities, and inclusiveness

50Hertz is open to training, study and professional choices that transcend gender stereotypes, and we are committed to gender-independent training pathways and professional work. We are committed to the Federal Government’s commitment to the education sector, policymakers, business, professional practice, and research to ensure that career decisions and training are independent of gender, with no room for stereotypes. By subscribing to this, 50Hertz has committed to support this initiative. This also means that we think carefully about restrictive gender stereotypes and encourage active sharing among all those involved.

50Hertz guarantees equal opportunities for people with and without disabilities. In our inclusion agreement adopted in 2013, we committed to supporting people with disabilities in their working lives. An internal inclusion team supports the implementation of this agreement.
