The Rhenus Group is now operating a new warehouse for the European electricity grid operator TenneT in the Ahlhorn area (Lower Saxony). On around 11 hectares of storage space, Rhenus is responsible for the receipt, quality control, storage and delivery of mast components, screws, small parts, and materials for substations – thereby supporting TenneT in the rapid expansion of the grid in Lower Saxony and Bremen.
New location in the Hansalinie Metropolitan Park
TenneT requires flexible and reliable material logistics for its grid expansion program – in particular the North-West program with several line construction projects in Lower Saxony and Bremen. To this end, around 13 hectares of space have been leased in the Hansalinie Metropolitan Park, of which Rhenus operates around 11 hectares. The site mainly comprises gravel-covered open spaces and three former airport hangars with a total of around 3,000 m² of covered storage space. Materials are transported by truck.
Our services
At the new location, Rhenus is responsible for receiving, quality and completeness checks, as well as the storage and delivery of mast components, screws, small parts and other equipment for substations. The contract term is at least four years with an option.
Arne Woldenga, Managing Director of Rhenus Migard Ems, emphasizes the strategic relevance of the project: “Grid expansion is a key component of the energy transition. With our new site in Ahlhorn, we are creating significant added value for our principal TenneT and laying the foundation for a long-term partnership. Our expanded service portfolio is an additional advantage.”
