Scores: 0–100 % (higher = more digital); raw BNetzA values are 0–1 and normalised to percent here.

Use cases:

  • Identify VNBs with low digitalisation → software/consulting sales targets
  • Benchmark a VNB against the national median before a pitch
  • M&A screening: low score + high Anschlussdauer → restructuring candidate
  • ESG reporting: digitisation maturity of owned/regulated DSOs
