Construction of a new substation in the centre of Berlin

We are investing in the future near you and thus in maintaining a secure electricity grid.

The city of Berlin is evolving every day. New districts are being built with hotels, offices, apartments and infrastructure buildings. In order to be able to supply all these new buildings with energy safely and reliably, we are building a new substation in the heart of Berlin.

Previously, there was a substation at the same location, which was used as a party venue after it was decommissioned. However, the increasing demand for energy has necessitated the construction of a new substation in the city centre. 

The new building fulfils the monument preservation requirements and blends well into the cityscape with an interesting terrace look. 

Cornerstones of construction

• Until October 2021 – Demolition of the former substation
