Background:

Germany has taken a new step toward defining the electricity grid of the future. On 10 December 2025, the country's four transmission system operators ("TSOs") – 50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT Germany, and TransnetBW – launched the public consultation phase for the first draft of the Network Development Plan (Netzentwicklungsplan) ("NEP") 2037/2045 (2025).

The plan outlines how Germany's transmission infrastructure should evolve by 2045 to meet the needs of a climate-neutral energy system. It reflects updated assumptions on electricity demand, generation mix, storage technologies, and market conditions. The public can submit feedback online or via email until 14 January 2026, after which the TSOs will revise the draft and submit it to the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) ("BNetzA") for approval.

OFAC Expands Cuba Sanctions And Tightens Financial And Travel Restrictions

The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has implemented sweeping changes to Cuba sanctions, establishing a new regulatory framework that targets foreign persons and financial institutions while significantly restricting previously authorized activities. These measures create potential sanctions exposure for non-U.S. businesses and banks conducting Cuba-related transactions, fundamentally altering the compliance landscape for international financial intermediaries.
