Reuse of Tegel Airport

Change is the only constant in life: a characteristic symbol of our capital is changing – Tegel Airport.

The final flight marks the end of the airport and the start of construction of a state-of-the-art commercial, industrial and residential area. 

Stromnetz Berlin GmbH has been a reliable partner since the initial infrastructure planning days back in 2012.

With the return of the land to the state of Berlin, Stromnetz Berlin took over the airport’s existing grid in 2021 and has since ensured a secure power supply to the area.

The existing grid systems will continue to be operated, but will be successively replaced by the laying and installation of a modern, efficient electricity distribution grid.

Project milestones

The “Reuse of Tegel Airport” project programme consists of several connected projects that interlink like cogs on a wheel.

Over the next few years, new cables will be laid from the site to a nearby substation. Due to rising energy demand in the coming years, a dedicated substation will be built on the site. Its connection to the higher-level grid is already being constructed in parallel to ensure a smooth start.

An innovative distribution network is also being expanded to ensure the long-term supply of households, businesses and commercial customers. This will adapt the supply to future requirements.
