New high-voltage line near Dresden: residents on alert!
In the region around Dresden, the planned construction of a new 380 kV high-voltage line, the so-called “Elbe-Oberlausitz line”, is generating lively discussion. The overhead line is an important project carried out by the company 50Hertz Transmission to improve the energy supply. But residents are already expressing concerns and fear for their living space if the planned pipeline routes run through communities such as Dresden, Ebersbach, Lampertswalde, Moritzburg and others. In a democratic process, the plans can now be viewed in the Meißen district office and in the Dresden town hall, which represents an important opportunity for citizens to find out more and have their voices heard.
The President of the State Directorate, Béla Bélafi, emphasizes how important the spatial impact assessment is for the transparent involvement of municipalities, citizens and institutions. Aspects such as settlement development, transport, economy and environmental protection are thoroughly examined. The possibilities for alternative routes are also on the table and relevant environmental assessments are well underway. If you would like to find out more in-depth information, you also have the option of viewing the application documents online on the Saxony State Directorate's announcement portal.
A look beyond the borders
The USS Gravely will remain in Trinidad until Thursday conducting joint exercises with the US Navy. Numerous voices in Trinidad and Tobago, including leading politicians, are critical of this operation. Although Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar supports the US military presence, there is also resistance from the population who find the military visit undesirable. These tensions again raise the question of the extent to which military presence in the region can promote dialogue or a peaceful solution.
