Future project for Carinthia: Strong current line now connects East Tyrol!

Lienz, Österreich - An important energy project for Carinthia and East Tyrol officially recorded speed today. The Austria Power Grid (APG) announced the start of the first preliminary examinations for the expansion of the 380 KV management between Lienz and Obersielach. This project, known as the "Network Area Carinthia", is viewed as a key project for the long -term securing of a sustainable power supply in the region. According to APG, the existing lines have already reached their capacity boundaries, which makes this expansion all the more urgent, such as dolomitenstadt.

The first steps in this extensive project include mapping, soil investigations and geological surveys along a planning corridor of around 180 kilometers, of which ten kilometers run through East Tyrol. The APG plans a gap in the 380 kV connection and the reinforcement of the 110 kV network. Particularly noted that both overhead lines are installed on the same route, which means that structural measures can be minimized and the efficiency is improved, in line with the existing infrastructure, as well as Apg.at reported.

The timetable for future -proof energy

The other steps are clearly outlined: In the coming months, the investigations will be carried out, with the first results that are expected for autumn 2025. After that, a structured dialogue will begin with the public and the affected communities. The goal is to find an optimal route that takes into account both the energy policy requirements and the protection of the environment.

In addition, an environmental impact declaration (UVE) is sought for 2027, followed by an official environmental impact assessment (RRP). The final commissioning of the new lines is planned for 2033. With a total investment volume of 9 billion euros, this project becomes part of the APG network development plan 2023, which underlines the importance of investing for future energy supply in Carinthia.
