APG completes 380 kV Salzburg power line

The Salzburg Line, built by Austrian grid operator APG, closes the last gap in Austria's 380 kV ring network in the west of the country. It comprises about 128 km of new lines in total (roughly 114 km at 380 kV level), 449 new pylons and 6 substations, at an investment of about EUR 1 billion. Following a first section operating since 2011, the second and final section between St. Peter am Hart and the Tauern substation near Kaprun became fully operational on 9 April 2025.
