Aiwanger in the electricity misery: route idea angers Ramelow – “An audacity”. In addition to Suedlink and Suedostlink, the planned route called Suedwestlink would also bring electricity from northern Germany to Bavaria - if possible via underground cable.
According to current plans, SuedWestlink should only continue through Lower Franconia to Baden-Württemberg, without a branch. Another line is planned above ground from Schalkau in Thuringia via the Münnerstadt area.
