E.DIS invests 2 billion euros for power grid expansion in MV and BB!
What is happening in the German power grid? E.DIS Netz has big plans for the next five years and is investing a whopping two billion euros in expanding the electricity distribution network in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg. This was revealed in a recent report by Northern Courier published. The green electricity quota in the regions mentioned reaches an impressive 160 percent, which impressively underlines the dynamic development of renewable energies.
What is particularly exciting is the large number of inquiries for the connection of ground-mounted photovoltaic systems and wind turbines. E.DIS has recognized that the expansion of generation is progressing faster than that of the grid: While it can take 8 to 12 years for new high-voltage lines to be installed, photovoltaic systems are ready for operation in around two years.
Challenges on the Internet
The head of E.DIS, Wittenberg, emphasizes that targeted planning is required to avoid returns to the transmission system operators. Renewable electricity has changed the flow of the distribution network, and the company is required to expand the network so that it meets the requirements of the new times. The aim is to do this without unnecessarily increasing costs for consumers.
From January 1, 2025, the distribution of network costs will be reorganized; The fees for distribution networks with a high proportion of renewable energy will be reduced. For the average household in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, this means a saving of around 100 euros in network fees compared to the previous year. This is good news for consumers!
Digitalization of the power grid
Another important step into the future is the expansion of the digitalization of the power grid. E.DIS plans to install or replace around 450 digital local stations annually. Investments are also being made in modern substations, such as in Pasewalk with 11 million euros and in Jarmen with 2.5 million euros.
To strengthen the next generation of skilled workers, E.DIS has opened a new training center, the Energy Campus in Bentwisch near Rostock. This ensures that there will be enough qualified specialists available in the future.
Another current topic concerns the risks in the digital space. For example, AnyDesk, a popular remote access solutions provider, recently confirmed a cyberattack on its production systems. Source code and private keys were stolen, as reported Bleeping computers. The company, which counts 170,000 customers including big names like Samsung and the United Nations, responded quickly and reset all passwords to ensure the safety of its users.
These developments demonstrate the importance of being at the forefront of technological innovation and cybersecurity. While E.DIS is investing boldly in the future of renewable energies, other companies, such as AnyDesk, also need to protect and regularly adapt their systems.
