Transmission towers on the initial stretch of the East Coast Railway Line
The East Coast Line, a vital component of Germany's energy transition, has reached a significant milestone in its construction. The transmission grid operator Tennet has announced the completion of this important section.
Located in the Schleswig-Holstein region, the East Coast Line is crucial for Germany's energy transition as the region generates more renewable energy than it consumes. The project's construction is under the leadership of a project manager appointed by the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Transport or the relevant regional railway authority.
The new line will connect Germany to the European power grid via the Baltic Cable. The East Coast Line construction project involves the construction of power lines and transformer stations. Work on stringing the power lines has begun in the 35-kilometer section between Lübeck-West and Lübeck-Siems.
The construction of the East Coast Line's 50-kilometer section between Henstedt-Ulzburg and Lübeck-West is on schedule. In the Segeberg district (Henstedt-Ulzburg and Kisdorf), the cables will be laid underground. This move will remove old pylons from the landscape in two sections of the Segeberg district.
The plan approval decision for the 50-kilometer section between Lübeck-West and Göhl was made in July. Construction work in this section has begun with a special permit since the beginning of the year. The East Coast Line will have 285 new pylons and 301 old pylons will be dismantled.
All 115 pylons between Henstedt-Ulzburg and the transformer station in Lübeck have been completed. The commissioning of the 380-kV East Coast Line is planned for the end of 2027.
The East Coast Line will help transport more wind and solar power from Schleswig-Holstein to the south, contributing significantly to Germany's energy transition efforts. The construction progress in all three sections is proceeding smoothly, marking a promising step towards a more sustainable future for Germany's energy supply.
