Replacement construction of the Mitte grid node

We are investing in your neighbourhood’s future, and thus in maintaining and expanding a secure electricity grid.

More and more charging stations for electric vehicles and photovoltaic systems on roofs and balconies are shaping Berlin’s cityscape. And in future, Berlin’s electricity grid will also be used for part of the heat supply. To ensure that our electricity grid is reliably equipped for all these tasks, we are modernising and expanding our Mitte grid node.
