Abstract

This study documents the key findings and recommendations of the project of the same name. Based on an analysis of the status quo of infrastructure planning processes, the aim of the project was to identify relevant areas in need of adjustment in the planning of energy infrastructures and to develop recommendations in this regard. The system development strategy (SES) is a central control instrument in this context that is now also enshrined in law. A particular focus of the project was therefore on the question of how and, if applicable, with which further developments the SES can contribute to more integrated or robust and resilient planning.
