These expansion plans constitute the country’s first electricity network development plan (NDP 2012), which was approved by German federal energy regulator Bundesnetzagentur last month.
NDP 2012 constitutes 51 grid upgrade measures, including several projects which will be crucial for the transmission of wind-generated electricity, reports Wind Power Monthly.
The final approved version of NDP 2012 contained 24 fewer upgrade measures than previous drafts of the document. However, it shows that swift completion of some new grid projects is crucial.
