Future -proof: Zwanwerk Hamburg/North gets 20 million euros upgrade!

In Henstedt-Ulzburg, something big is happening: SH Netz has started the construction work for the new substation Hamburg/North. Especially now that the demands on power supply are constantly increasing, the population project, which costs over 20 million euros, gives hope for a stable and sustainable energy supply. The initiative aims to ensure security in Schleswig-Holstein, while high demands on nature conservation are observed. As reports mynewsdesk.com, the work of the substation is already in full swing. 

The construction work, which could finally start after approval and intensive search slaughter, include the new construction of three additional 110 kilovolt line fields and a total of 17 switching areas that will optimize the operation. In addition, a new company building with 400 square meters of space is being built.

high security of supply in the region

In order to secure a connection to the existing 110 kV high-voltage network during the construction work, provisional intermediate states are set up. This is particularly important because the new 4.3 kilometer overhead line, which the Berlin/Nord substation will connect with the new 380-/110-KV conversions in Ulzburg, offers additional network stability and security. The route of the overhead line connection runs parallel to existing lines through the municipalities of Henstedt-Ulzburg, Norderstedt and Quickborn.

The requirements for nature conservation are high and the protection of a nearby wetland is ensured by a special amphibian protection fence. A close cooperation with the Lower Nature Conservation Authority and the municipality of Henstedt-Ulzburg could be established. This shows how important the responsible handling of nature is in the implementation of such infrastructure projects.

network expansion and sustainable energy supply

While Schleswig-Holstein as a pioneering country of wind energy cannot be stopped, other projects are also on the agenda. The energy supply of tomorrow will not only be designed by the new substation in Henstedt-Ulzburg, but also through the cooperation between 50Hertz and Tennet. These two companies are currently looking for a location for a common network link point in the offices Büchen, Breitenfelde and Schwarzenbek-Land. There are two areas in the narrow selection, including in the municipality of Sahm. The decision for this location pursues the goal of minimizing the use of space and at the same time ensuring optimal traffic connections. Details can be found on the website of 50Hertz.

Schleswig-Holstein's state government actively acts against network bottlenecks and sets itself the goal of feeding more renewable electricity into the network. The cost of feed management should be reduced in order to advance the transition to a climate -neutral energy system. For this purpose, several new maximum voltage lines and connections, such as the east coastal line or the Lübeck-Egge line, are already being planned. Interested parties can find more information about these developments on the North German state [Schleswig-Holstein] (https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/de/landes government/themen/energie/netzexbau).

Overall, it can be seen that the network expansion in Schleswig-Holstein plays an important role. Whether in Henstedt-Ulzburg or at other locations-the course for sustainable and safe energy future is set.
