TÜV NORD – Your partner for safe and future-ready energy systems

The energy industry is undergoing transformation: grids are becoming smarter, energy sources increasingly decentralised, storage technologies more flexible – and regulatory requirements continue to rise.

TÜV NORD supports this transformation with technical depth, regulatory expertise, and independent inspection and certification services – across the entire energy infrastructure: from grid connection inspections and geotechnical site assessments for wind and PV installations, to IT security certification according to ISO 27001 and KRITIS.

Whether renewable energies, hydrogen systems, energy storage solutions or critical supply networks: we assist utilities, network operators, municipal utilities, operators of regenerative generation and storage systems, as well as project developers and investors – from planning and permitting processes through to safe, efficient, and compliant operation.

Our service portfolio also includes lifetime extension analyses, training in energy law and efficiency, and the implementation and certification of energy management systems according to ISO 50001.

Together, we create safety, efficiency and long-term viability – in a dynamic energy market.
