FRANKFURT, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Spending plans for the period after 2029 by Germany's power grid operator E.ON (EONGn.DE) , opens new tab could come early in 2026, depending on the timing of the national regulator's decision-making on return-on-capital rules this year, the company said on Wednesday.

"It could be early 2026," said CFO Nadia Jakobi in a call with analysts after presenting financial results for 2024, allowing for a loose timetable that the energy regulator has published for the current calendar year.

The E.ON group said earlier that it would keep investments largely stable in 2024-2028 but would not commit to spending thereafter as long as levels of permitted returns on infrastructure spending remained unclear.
