West Coast Line
The West Coast line is under construction, three-phase - Ultra high voltage - overhead line 380 kV in the state of Schleswig-Holstein . It should lead along the North Sea coast from Brunsbüttel via Heide (Holstein) , Husum and Klixbüll to Böglum on the Danish border and in Denmark at the junction of Endrup ( Esbjerg Kommune) be linked to the Danish extra high voltage grid. The first sections have already gone into operation since construction began in 2015. Completion is planned for 2023 (as of 2020). The transmission system operator TenneT TSO is carrying out the project on the German side, and Energinet on the Danish side .
meaning
The 138 km long line in Germany is the most westerly of a total of three new north-south power lines in Schleswig-Holstein. It is to connect the substations Brunsbüttel, Süderdonn (formerly Umspannwerk Barlt), Heide -West, Husum-Nord and Klixbüll-Süd. There are large wind farms on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein ; the new line will absorb the wind energy generated there at the substations and transport it to the south. The 110 kV lines previously used for this purpose are no longer sufficient to absorb the electricity volumes that have risen sharply in the course of repowering . Large parts of the new line will be built on existing 110 kV power lines; the line dismantled for this purpose is carried on an additional traverse on the new line mast.
The construction project has been listed in the Federal Requirements Plan Act (BBPlG) as project no. 8 since 2013 , giving the project a high priority.
According to the media, the transmission capacity is 2 GW.
Later, the line is to be routed further north towards Denmark via the Klixbüll substation. This is intended to increase the transmission capacity between the power grids of both countries.
On June 8, 2015, construction of the pipeline in the southern section (Brunsbüttel – Süderdonn) began. This 14-kilometer section was completed on December 12, 2016. With the commissioning of this short section, the curtailment of wind turbines was already reduced by a few percent.
The construction of the next section from Süderdonn to Heide with a length of 23 kilometers began in November 2016 and officially went into operation on September 13, 2019. For this purpose, the planning approval decision was issued on May 30, 2016.
On March 30, 2017, the planning approval decision for the third and longest section from Heide West to Husum Nord was issued. After changing the rights of way to accommodate communities and residents, construction began here in September 2018.
The preparatory measures for the Husum substation began in April 2017. Ordnance clearance work took place; In addition, an access road to the planned construction site was built from Bundesstraße 5. Construction of the actual 380/110 kV substation began in July 2017.
In January 2020, the planning approval decision for the fourth section from Husum to Klixbüll was issued. The commissioning of the entire line to Klixbüll is planned by TenneT for the year 2022, the continuation to Denmark by 2023.

Substation of the west coast line in Schleswig-Holstein |
From the Brunsbüttel substation, which is located directly at the now decommissioned Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant , the line runs first to the east, then sharply to the north and then to the west. It takes a 110-kV line with it for the next 9.3 km and branches off in a north-westerly direction. Then the Kiel Canal is crossed with two 99-meter-high masts and the Süderdonn substation is reached.
From Süderdonn, the line continues north, past Meldorf west and reaches the Heide-West substation. In this 23-kilometer section, too, a 110-kV line running along the route is carried on the same masts.
The following 45-kilometer section bypasses the city of Heide in the west and north and leads in a north-easterly, then again in a north-westerly direction into the route space of another 110 kV line, which is mounted on an additional cross-beam, past Friedrichstadt to the Husum-Nord substation at Horstedt.
North of Husum, the 38-kilometer section will lead in a north-westerly direction with the 110 kV line past Bredstedt to the Klixbüll Süd substation.
