Replacement construction of the Neukölln 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 Neukölln grid node.

Information on the planned construction work

The construction project is divided into the following construction phases:

• Q3 2024 until Q2 2025: Construction site equipment
• Q3 2025 until Q4 2025: Installation of cable conduits

• Q1 2029 until Q1 2031: Installation of the system technology and commissioning
• Q1 2031 until Q3 2033: The 110 kV cables are swivelled to the new grid node
• Q3 2033 until Q4 2034: The systems in the old network node are dismantled

Restrictions during construction work

Construction work is rarely silent, nor does it take place without restrictions. You should expect the following disruptions during the construction period:

• Temporary restrictions or closures on public roads.
• Work will take place on weekdays between 6 am and 8 pm (depending on the season) and will lead to increased noise levels during certain phases.
• Construction noise will not occur throughout the entire construction period, but only during individual phases that are necessary for the construction work.
• Access to private properties will remain unaffected, but if access routes are affected, individual arrangements will be made on site with the responsible construction company.
• No planned power cuts are expected.
• Emergency routes and waste disposal will remain unaffected. Please note any notices posted by the BSR.
