Conversion to H-gas: Peine and the surrounding area are preparing!
Peine is about to switch from L-gas to H-gas by 2027. 9,000 devices will be adapted. Find out more here!
Conversion to H-gas: Peine and the surrounding area are preparing!
A fundamental change is taking place in Peine that will affect all residents in the region. From May 18, 2027, the L-gas previously used in the communities of Ilsede and Hohenhameln (except Mehrum, where the switch has already been completed) will be replaced by the more efficient H-gas. This infrastructure project is one of the largest of its kind in Germany and has the primary reason to stop L-gas funding by 2029. regionalheute.de reports that ...
What does this actually mean for customers? At the moment, all households in the conversion area still receive L gas, but they are required to switch to H gas by May 18, 2027 at the latest. During the transition phase, which lasts until the end of 2025, all gas appliances will be recorded and checked so that any adjustments can be made. This survey phase will begin at the end of August 2025 and last until December 2025. During the subsequent adjustment phase at the beginning of 2027, the necessary changes to the devices will be made.
Customer participation and costs
However, the changeover is relatively inexpensive for the affected households. Customers don't have to worry about anything because they receive an appointment to collect and test their devices. In addition, there are no costs for collection and adjustment, which makes the change even easier. If a device cannot be converted, funding is available to support customers financially.
If you have any questions or need further information, you can contact the natural gas office on 05171-7919107 or visit the Peiner Land municipal utilities website. An email to marktraumumstellung@gw-peinerland.de can also be helpful.
Impact on CNG filling stations
Another interesting aspect concerns the natural gas vehicles and CNG filling stations in the region. These will also be converted to H gas, but not necessarily in sync with private gas appliances. The filling stations that get gas from the local network adapt their connections in a timely manner. However, drivers don't have to worry because natural gas vehicles are designed to run on both classes of gas. You can fill up and drive as usual, even if the price per kilogram will increase after the change. bundesnetzagentur.de adds that…
A full tank load of H gas lasts longer than L gas due to its higher calorific value, which means better use of the budget for drivers. However, for vehicles that refuel with LNG, everything remains the same as they are not affected by this change.
Overall, the upcoming project shows that the adaptation to more modern and efficient energy sources is in full swing, which is a positive development for everyone involved.
