Abstract
The power network is among the most of critical infrastructures. In Germany, multiple circumstances, triggered by social and political processes of decarbonization and nuclear phaseout, require extensive grid expansion activities. The paper analyzes coincidences of security and reliability aspects with transmission infrastructure planning. It explores essential properties that determine the criticality of power grids, examines to what extent security is subject of grid expansion procedures and finally focuses on selected security-related spatial planning issues such as the concentration of infrastructures or the pros and cons of overhead lines vs. underground cables.
