TenneT TSO GmbH from Bayreuth (project developer) has applied to the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport for a planning approval procedure for the project "For the new construction and operation of the 380 kV overhead line Liedingen - Bleckenstedt/Süd (Salzgitter industrial line)".
There is a statutory obligation to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project.
Land in the following municipalities and districts is required for the project and the measures associated with the project, including the compensatory and replacement landscape conservation measures:
- Municipality of Vechelde: districts of Liedingen, Köchingen, Vallstedt, Wierthe, Alvesse
- City of Salzgitter: districts of Üfingen, Sauingen, Bleckenstedt
Subject of the planning approval procedure
The subject of this planning approval procedure is the new construction of the 380 kV overhead line Liedingen - Bleckenstedt/Süd (LH-10-3046), individual measure Vechelde - Salzgitter with a total line length of approx. 10.7 kilometers. The planning approval procedure also covers the conversion of the 380 kV Wahle - Lamspringe line, which will be split into the two 380 kV lines Wahle - Liedingen (LH-10-3049) and Liedingen - Lamspringe (LH-10-3050), including the dismantling of the section of the 380 kV Wahle - Lamspringe line affected by this, as well as the conversion of the 220 kV Gleidingen - Hallendorf line (LH-10-2029) between pylon 8 and pylon 9.
The planned Liedingen substation and the planned Bleckenstedt/Süd substation are not the subject of the planning approval procedure, but will be approved in separate approval procedures.
Course of the planned pipeline construction
The planned 380 kV line Liedingen - Bleckenstedt/Süd (Salzgitter industrial line) runs from the Liedingen switchgear - yet to be built - in a south-easterly direction for approx. 5 km.
It first crosses the L475 state road between Köchingen and Vallstedt, then crosses the Bodenstedter Bach stream and the Dummbruchgraben ditch before crossing the K55 district road between Wierthe and Alvesse.
To the east of Alvesse, the overhead line swings to the south, crossing the Groß Gleidingen - Hildesheim railroad line and then, to the north of the Alvesse mill, the 220 kV Gleidingen - Hallendorf overhead line (TenneT) and the 110 kV Gleidingen - Haverlahwiese overhead line (Avacon Netz GmbH).
After bypassing the Alvesse mill to the east, the L615 is crossed between Alvesse and Salzgitter-Üfingen. Continuing in a straight line in a southerly direction, the overhead line runs past the eastern edge of the Schacht Konrad wind farm towards the A39 federal highway.
The overhead line crosses the A39 southwest of the Salzgitterhüttenblick service area and then the K36 and the K14 west of Bleckenstedt. Shortly before the railroad line to the Konrad shaft, the Salzgitter industrial line swings in a south-easterly direction, crosses the railroad line and then the K12 between Bleckenstedt and Hallendorf. Between the K12 and the Salzgitter branch canal, the overhead line connects to the planned Bleckenstedt/Süd substation.
