A new law that is aimed at accelerating the much-needed expansion Germany鈥檚 power grid will enter into effect one day after the country鈥檚 grid agency BNetzA said grid expansion remains the greatest challenge of the Energiewende. The law will streamline procedures for the optimisation of existing lines as well as for the construction of new power lines, Germany鈥檚 economy ministry BMWi . Economy and energy minister Peter Altmaier said the new law would serve to implement the decisions taken at last year鈥檚 鈥�grid summit鈥�, where the federal government, together with Germany鈥檚 federal states, debated how resistance against grid expansion at the regional level could be overcome.
Meanwhile, Germany鈥檚 grid agency BNetzA stressed the need to make progress in grid expansion to better integrate the country鈥檚 growing renewable power generation capacity. 鈥淕rid expansion remains the Energiewende鈥檚 main challenge,鈥� BNetzA head Jochen Homann said at the presentation of the agency鈥檚 . Homann said the planning of new power lines was making 鈥済ood progress鈥�, whereas construction did not take place quickly enough. 鈥淭his is reflected in higher costs for preserving system stability,鈥� he argued. The agency said that about 7,700 kilometres of new power lines are currently planned in the country, out of which 1,800 were 鈥渓icensed or already implemented鈥�.

Although the costs for grid stabilisation in Germany that is needed to balance intermittent renewable power production have slightly fallen, they remain high in absolute terms, amounting to 1.4 billion euros in 2018. The major transmission lines, named SuedLink, SuedOstLink and Ultranet, are needed to connect major renewable power generation areas in the north with industrial centres in the south but encounter fierce opposition by residents as well as local politicians, many of which argue that the large-scale power lines are a threat to human health and might lower the value of adjacent properties.
