Landscape planning measures accompanying a grid line

Intervention compensation planning

The GEO company (Gesellschaft für Energie und Oekologie GmbH) plans the erection of the “demonstration field GEOFReE”. The farm will contain five wind energy converters with a total performance of approx. 25 MW in the south of the Mecklenburg Bay. The power is conducted via transformerstation Göhl into the 110 kV grid. A 36/110 kV three-phase cable connection is planned.

The building and the operation of the cable connection is an intervention in nature and landscape according to § 7.2.7 LNatSchG. GEO mbH therefore applied for an intervention approval. According to § 54b.3 LNatSchG the Environmental Ministry of Schleswig Holstein as the topmost conservation authority is responsible for the intervention approval.

The cable route crosses potential or established NATURA2000 conservation areas. For these areas it has to be investigated, whether the plan alone or together with other plans and projects can impair the area considerably.

The investor has engaged the OECOS team to prepare the environmental and conservation-related documents for the approval procedure.
