The BERNARD Gruppe was commissioned by TenneT TSO GmbH with the routing of the planned 380 kV line in the Burghausen/Simbach in the framework of the spatial impact assessment.

Our services include the development of a route variant, constructed as overhead line, with as few conflicts as possible using the overhead line construction method, as well as the accompanying assessment of technical feasibility as part of the spatial impact assessment. Possible impacts of the planned power line components on the objects of protection will be recorded and optimized, uniformly evaluated and documented for the variant to be examined. Due to the challenging topology, the crossing of the Inn River or of special areas of conservation (SAC) and the consideration of the objects of protection (e.g. humans, animals, soil), we expect that additional efforts will be required in the area to be examined for the route variant. An overall assessment of the route variant identified as optimal is therefore planned.

The project in question has been confirmed by measure M822 in the German network development plan (NDP 2037/2045), based on additional load requests in the so-called Bavarian chemical triangle. For technical implementation, a ring closure from Zeilarn via Burghausen to Simbach am Inn will be required. The new power line will be looped into the planned Simbach 2 substation, which will be located in the area of the city of Simbach.
