Thuringia escalates electricity dispute with Bavaria. Citizens' initiatives reject new power lines through Franconia.
“Greetings to Munich”: Thuringia's PM calls the plan “unparalleled audacity” “The routes are not planned by the federal states, but by the transmission system operators and the Federal Network Agency,” said the Bavarian Deputy Prime Minister. The decision on the nationwide need for expansion in the transmission network will be made with the confirmation of the network development plan.
