Strangers on Wolfenbüttel's properties: TenneT starts route exploration!

From October 27, 2025, things will be lively in Wolfenbüttel: TenneT TSO GmbH has announced that it will carry out extensive route exploration in the city area. These explorations, which are scheduled to last until the end of April 2026, are part of a larger project to build a new 380 kV overhead line. This line will connect the Helmstedt/East and Bleckenstedt/South substations and is a central component of the federal requirements plan and the Eastphalia Axis project area. As [regionalheute.de reports](https://regionalheute.de/wolfenbuettel/darum-kommen-bald- Fremde-auf-privatgrundstuecke-wolfenbuettel-1759576734/), the explorations will lead to increased activity on both public and private paths.

The aim of the route investigations is to collect important geographical information that is required for the subsequent plan approval process. Slopes, slopes, obstacles and existing vegetation are recorded. Information on road widths and traffic restrictions is also documented. This information is essential to ensure the security and performance of the future energy supply network.

Practical details about the explorations

The drives and inspections are carried out by TenneT itself as well as by subcontractors such as LTBleitungsbau GmbH and the environmental service provider Froelich and Sporbeck. The paved paths are explored by car, while unpaved areas are explored on foot. The investigations on private properties take place during the day from Monday to Friday, although the owners must tolerate the investigations in accordance with Section 44 Paragraph 1 of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG). As sg-mittelweser.de adds, a parcel list with details of the affected areas will be published on the Published on the community website.

In order to ensure that no damage occurs to the land, TenneT undertakes to repair or compensate for any damage that may arise. The company is authorized under Section 11 EnWG to carry out the necessary measures to operate and expand an efficient energy supply network. This also includes the ongoing cable replacement of the 380 kV “Landesbergen-Borken” line, which is currently set out in the network development plan for the years 2023-2045.

Contact person for residents

Contact persons are available for all residents who have questions about the route exploration. Andreas Jaeger is responsible for citizen participation, while Otto van Westrenen acts as project manager for planning and approval. Further information about the entire project and exploration can be found on the TenneT website.

Overall, this project shows how important it is to develop new energy supply routes in Germany. The Energy Industry Act forms the legal basis for the upcoming measures to ensure a sustainable and efficient energy infrastructure, as bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de explains.
