Nature Protection / Permits

This division is based in Berlin.

The construction projects initiated and carried out by 50Hertz to make the energy transition a reality usually involve activities that will affect the interests of many different people. This means that our projects usually require complex public licensing procedures and are subject to the acquisition of land use rights. A wide range of specialists within the company are involved in this process. The nature conservation / licensing division carries most of the responsibility in this area. In the area of nature conservation, our guiding principle is that our influences on nature and any impacts on biodiversity must be kept to a minimum. For this reason, we provide rebalancing, substitution, and species protection measures which are often agreed upon in the context of a licensing procedure. At the same time, we seek to engage in face-to-face dialogue at an early stage with public authorities, voluntary associations, policymakers, and citizens, and work to come up with our proposals to speed up these processes. Finally, efficient planning, control, coordination, and implementation of licensing procedures are important factors in making every project a success, to make the energy transition a reality.
