50Hertz operates the electricity transmission system in the north and east of Germany, which it expands as needed for the energy transition. Our extra high voltage grid has an electrical circuit length of more than 10,000 kilometres, or the distance between Berlin and Rio de Janeiro.

Our grid’s power circuit length covers a distance of more than 10,600 kilometres across the entire eastern part of Germany as well as Berlin and Hamburg. We transport a constantly increasing share of renewable energy over large distances at the extra high-voltage levels of 150, 220 and 380 kilovolts (kV).
