agree  TonyTK: or even "interconnection network" (which in this context is the same IMO) - the network connecting the various grids.

linked power grid


Explanation:
The (Netz)Verbund in question is obviously a group of utility companies (Stromlieferanten) who share/operate a joint (linked) power grid.
In the given context, a new supplier is expected to fortify the group's power grid.

"Approximately 450 million people in Europe take advantage from the high reliability and the security standards of such a wide synchronously linked power grid.
See http://ukenterprise.org/bulgaria_power.asp

Just one example of many for "linked power grid"
