The German Farmers鈥� Association has joined transmission grid operators (TSOs) in demanding a change to legislation that favours the construction of underground power lines. The Federal Requirement Plan Act (Bundesbedarfsplangesetzes), which provides a legal framework for the construction of the high-voltage transmission lines needed to reshape the power grid as ever-more of Germany鈥檚 power supply comes from renewables, prioritises underground cables over the construction of visible pylons, which have been met with public resistance. Nina Scheer, a spokesperson for the SPD told Handelsblatt that the vulnerability of overhead聽lines to extreme weather and vandalization was also an important consideration. Both the government and Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) are 鈥渟ceptical鈥� about reverting to overhead lines. 鈥淪o far, we are assuming that all projects will be realised as underground cables,鈥� a BNetzA spokesperson told the paper.

However, burying grid infrastructure underground is more expensive. The TSOs say that switching to overhead lines could save up to 20 billion euros in costs, according to an article in newspaper . The grid operators argue that this means higher grid fees, and therefore higher consumer power bills. It also entails considerable disruption for farmers and other landowners, they argue. 鈥淔rom an agricultural point of view, overhead lines have a significantly lower impact on the soil,鈥� Bernhard . With the Federal Requirement Plan Act due to be reviewed and updated, Kr眉sken said it was time 鈥渢o finally listen to the long-standing demands of landowners鈥� and welcomed the TSOs stance against underground cables.
