Strom network expansion in Celle: Safe to the future of the energy transition!

In northern Germany, the energy transition is going well! Celle-Uelzen Netz GmbH (CUN) is not only the regional network operator in the districts of Celle and Uelzen, but also has a lot plans. At the moment, 146.195 the final consumer is connected to their power grid, which extends over a medium -voltage cable network of 2,592 kilometers and a low -voltage cable network of 5,844 kilometers. These impressive figures show how important the infrastructure for the energy supply of the region is, such as cell-uelzennetz.de.

The network expansion is not just a keyword, but a necessity. It was particularly necessary due to the growing number of decentralized generation plants - currently 6,745 that are connected by the CUN. In order to meet the increased requirements of the energy transition, the company is planning massive investments of over 500 million euros in the coming years. Among other things, these will include the increase in transformer services and the intensification of the expansion of medium and low voltage cables in order to guarantee security of supply.

A special project is on the program in Celle. In the area of ​​Rostocker Straße and Welfenallee, construction work is currently underway to connect several renovated residential buildings to the power grid. CUN managing director Dr. Ulrich Finke emphasizes the company's responsibility for the safe power supply in the region. The newly installed air heat pumps in the buildings that work without fossil fuels and thus significantly increase electricity requirements, especially in the cold season, are central.

The construction work that started after Pentecost and are said to be completed by the end of July leads to a half -sided road closure. In order to cover the energy needs of the residents, a new medium-voltage transformer station is installed on Rostocker Strasse, and additional power lines are laid, primarily in the sidewalks. Electromobility also plays an increasing role; The loading of electric cars is closely linked to the expansion of the power grid.

The answer to the energy transition

The accelerated expansion of renewable energies also brings new challenges. In the long term, the power supply must change fundamentally in order to meet the increasing demand. The Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) emphasizes the need for network operators and market participants to adapt to the increasing feed-in of electricity through photovoltaic systems and develop systems for a stable network operation, as described on [bmwk.de] (https://www.bmwk.de/Redaktion/de/dossier/netze-und-- undetzen-

Technical development is progressing quickly, and new technologies such as adjustable local network transformers are intended to help reduce conventional network expansion. The cooperation between the network operators and Avacon Netz GmbH is also increased to ensure system stability.

In the coming years, the infrastructure in the Celle area will not only be worked on, but also on the future requirements that the energy supply brings with it under the sign of the energy transition. The CUN has a good hand for the challenges of the future - that is clearly clear!
