Millions for the future of energy: Lüneburg's power grid is strengthened!

With a strong investment spurt of around 4.9 million euros, Avacon Netz GmbH is making an important sign of the future of energy supply in Lüneburg. From mid -July 2025, construction work to strengthen the medium -voltage network in the Hanseatic city begins. Time is running out of this day - the investment is just in time in order to meet the increasing requirements in the course of the energy transition. This measure is essential for the reliable power supply of households, companies and central facilities such as the Lüneburg Hospital.

The plans provide the laying of a new electricity route in two construction phases. A new 20 kV cable with an impressive cross-section of 800 mm² is installed, which leads from the Rettmer transition to Lindenstrasse. In addition to this centerpiece, three other 20 kV systems for connecting new and strengthening existing stations will also be added in midfield and on the red field. The horizontal flushing drilling process with which the work is carried out reduces interventions in the street space and ensures less construction noise.

long -term planning and modern infrastructure

The construction phases are clearly structured: the first phase extends from July to December 2025, while the second phase lasts from March 2026 to June 2027. In these periods, there will be selective traffic tours. The city will work closely with Avacon to keep the effects on road traffic and public transport as low as possible. The planned blocking and the new construction of the Soltauer Straße railway bridge are also well thought out in this context.

But that's not all: in Lüneburg districts of Kaltenmoor and New Hagen as well as in the "Billmer Berg" industrial estate is currently being screwed strongly at the energy transition. There, Kuhlmann Bührbau GmbH has already started exchanging power cables over a distance of around 1,800 meters. Here, less powerful lines are replaced by powerful cables in order to make the energy supply future -proof. This construction measure is part of the “Smart Energy Region Lüneburg” project and has a total budget of around 340,000 euros.

temporary restrictions and outlook

During the construction work, temporary restrictions can occur, such as not accessible footpaths or the temporary laying of bus stops. However, these measures are necessary to promote the sustainable and modern energy infrastructure. The residents are informed about the respective changes in good time, and Avacon asks for understanding for possible impairments.

A good view of the current situation in the energy infrastructure shows the potential for future developments. Often existing network capacities are not sufficient, for example in the case of storms or unusually high electricity requirements, which can lead to supply bottlenecks. In such cases, network operators must react with feed management in order to maintain operation. These challenges make it clear how important the often invisible expansion of the infrastructure is to master the challenges of the energy transition and underline the need for further measures to ensure a stable energy supply in the region.

The Lüneburg citizens can look forward to a strong and future -proof energy supply that not only meets the current, but also the future demands. If you want to learn more about the projects and your effects, you will find more information on the Avacon and regional news portals.
