Dornbirn is investing strongly: New substation for safe electricity future!

Dornbirn, Österreich - The Dornbirn electricity future accepts shapes! As corporate spokesman Johannes Hofer from Vorarlberger Energienetze GmbH confirmed, the demolition of the old substation Dornbirn Süd is imminent. This complete renewal is not a little thing: Investments in the double -digit million range are planned for the mammoth project to ensure that the central system will grow in the future in the increasing requirements of energy supply. The completion of the new substation with the latest technology is planned for the end of 2027 and is intended to guarantee a more stable power supply, which also takes into account future developments such as e-mobility and renewable energies. The old system remains in operation during the construction work, since the new substation must first be built completely before the old can be switched off, as Hofer explained. This measure has already been successfully carried out at the Hohenems substation, such as Vol.at

In parallel to the work on the substation, the 110-kilovolt dub collector is expanded in the region. The third and last construction phase for this year comprises the southwestern area of the L204/Brückengasse/Raiffeisenstrasse intersection. The traffic routing is restricted here: In the future, only two lanes will be available, which means redirection for traffic. The construction work should be completed from the beginning of November 2024 before the 2025 project continues in Lustenauerstrasse. These infrastructural improvements are crucial to increase the supply stability in the region, especially in view of the increasing power consumption. The renewal of the old high -voltage cables, which are replaced after 50 years of operation, is supplemented by modern fiber optic pipes and supply lines for water, gas and local heat. These important steps, such as current.
