Überplanung von Infrastruktur

As Germany's energy turnaround moves forward, Tom Pleiner's volume focuses on the need to adapt millions of kilometers of power lines for use in the coming decades. The current lines and routes are capable of handling new requirements demanded by changes to energy supply systems, but the ageing infrastructure and European integration factors need to be taken into account. Reutilizing existing installations promotes sustainable land-use, but projects are subject to a variety of specific planning and building process regulations. In light of this, the author examines how simplifying procedures and exemptions would help regulate priority expansion programs. Also presented are the principles of routing for the different phases of infrastructure planning.
