From a technical point of view, re-investments serve to maintain supply reliability and network security at a high level and to maintain a corresponding cost base from a regulatory point of view.
Due to a very tense situation at construction companies and suppliers not all planned reinvestments could be implemented. The limited possibility of implementing re-investments meant that prioritisation of implementation was necessary. Re-investments had to be prioritized taking into account technical and economic influences as well as possible risks. A risk management system was to support precisely this task and be developed within the framework of the project for a North German network operator.
