The general space planning consists of the three branches federal state planning, country planning of the Länder and urban land use planning. In the past, the construction of the electricity grid was mainly subject to country planning of the Länder. In 2011, the federal Energy Line Extension Acceleration Act (Netzausbaubeschleunigungsgesetz Übertragungsnetz – NABEG) introduced new sectoral planning procedures. Since then, the relationship between requirements of country planning of the Länder and the new sectoral planning procedures was disputed. The paper deals with this relationship and analyses the latest amendments of the NABEG that aim, inter alia, at clarifying this relationship.}, url = {} }
