Home/Grid/Grid developement/BESTGRID/50Hertz pilot project Improving the information of the local public - the 50Hertz pilot project The need for information about the planning and the technical processes has grown. The expansion of the electricity grid is a decisive component of the German energy transition. It also means that many people and institutions expect greater transparency in the different project stages. For the system operators, this means that local information campaigns have to be improved further and create opportunities for affected citizens, institutions and associations to give the project developer advice and recommendations. In this context, explaining technically complex themes in an understandable and visual manner is a particular challenge. For instance, many citizens find it hard to assess the possible effects of high-voltage transmission lines' electrical and magnetic fields (EMF). The 50Hertz pilot project therefore also focuses on the development of communication measures that should render technically challenging subjects more accessible and provide specific answers to the questions asked.
