Shaping the grid together

Strategic consulting and facilitation for 50Hertz – for dialogue and mutual understanding in grid expansion.

Dialogue for the Energy Transition

Strategic consulting and conflict mediation for 50Hertz

Initial situation 

As a transmission system operator, 50Hertz is responsible for the planning, construction, and operation of the high-voltage power grid in northern and eastern Germany. The company thus creates the infrastructural foundation for the energy transition – while operating in a highly complex political, planning, and social environment. Grid expansion projects transform landscapes, affect local interests, and demand a transparent, dialogue-oriented approach. 

Our task 

Kaltwasser is one of 50Hertz’s framework partners for public participation. We support the transmission system operator in the conceptual development of its communication and participation processes. Our focus lies on strategic consulting, conflict analysis, and impartial facilitation in sensitive project phases – especially where planning, political, and social perspectives intersect. 

 

Our approach

We create spaces for exchange and mutual understanding: through thorough stakeholder and situational analyses, structured preliminary discussions with all parties involved, and facilitation and consulting formats built on trust, transparency, and solution orientation. Our goal is to enable sustainable understanding in challenging situations and to support the communicative implementation of grid expansion projects.
