Restructuring of grid in Treptow-Köpenick
To increase capacity and improve security of supply, we are laying new high-voltage cables in the district.
The images are intended to illustrate underground cable construction work and do not depict any of the upcoming construction sites.
Berlin's increasing demand for electricity makes it necessary to expand the power grid. We will therefore more than double our capacity by 2033.
From the second quarter of 2025, new high-voltage cables will be laid in Treptow-Köpenick for this purpose. The construction work is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2026.
Construction work schedule
The cable work will be carried out during ongoing operations. In order to ensure the power supply at all times, the planned work will be carried out sequentially in different construction phases.
Current status of the works
The works to restructure the power grid in Treptow-Köpenick are nearing completion. The newly constructed power grid is scheduled to come into operation by the end of October 2026.
Thereafter, any remaining excavation pits will be filled in and the affected road and pavement surfaces will be restored.
As things stand, this final phase of works is expected to be completed by the end of November 2026. The roads particularly affected are Gellertstraße, Wassermannstraße, Zinsgutstraße, Lohnauer Steig, Freystadter Weg, Oberspreestraße, Flemmingstraße, Freiheit, Wendenschloßstraße and Landjägerstraße. Until the work is fully completed, temporary restrictions may continue to apply in certain areas.
We thank you for your understanding.
Expected disruptions during construction work
- During construction work, there will be temporary restrictions/partial closures on public roads.
- Temporary noise is to be expected during construction work on weekdays from 7 am to 8 pm (depending on the season).
Note: Emergency routes and access to private properties will remain open.
