Planning status

Following the regional planning assessment by Regionalverbund Ruhr in winter 2022, OGE is now preparing the documents for the planning approval process.

From the end of May to the end of June 2023, the project sponsor OGE organised a number of Dialogue Markets featuring themed stands and project maps to inform the public about the next steps in this project, and local citizens had the opportunity to talk to OGE and the project partners and gain further insights into the project.
