Schönau modernizes infrastructure: expansion of fiber optic and heating networks ensures sustainable energy supply in the Lörrach district.

Future project in Schönau: fiber optics and heat for all households!
In the Lörrach district, the expansion of digital and infrastructural provision is progressing rapidly. The association is currently placing particular emphasis on expanding the fiber optic and heating network in order to create a future-proof basis for the region. Managing director Paul Kempf emphasizes the urgency of the construction measures, which make sense not only economically but also ecologically. The goal is clearly defined: a sustainable infrastructure for the coming years.
The EWS Schönau plays a central role in this project. She is actively involved in the laying of heat pipes and 20 kV supply lines. Managing director Martin Halm emphasizes that the focus is on simultaneously modernizing the electricity network and expanding the heating network for heating buildings in the Schönau core area. Efficient solutions are used, including electricity-based heating solutions such as heat pumps, which are particularly used in difficult-to-access areas with steep slopes.
Broadband coverage in the district
The expansion of the fiber optic network is directly related to the ever-growing need for bandwidth. A sustainable internet connection enables speeds in the gigabit range, which is essential for an increasingly digital society. The broadband supply association, which was founded by 35 cities and municipalities in the district, aims to connect every house to the fiber optic network by 2032.
For this purpose, residents must conclude a usage agreement with the association. This agreement allows the association to lay fiber optic cables on private property and to implement necessary installations such as a wall bushing and a network termination box. Information about these processes as well as the costs of a house connection and possible discounts for owners who have made advance payments is available on the association's website.
Conclusion and outlook
The construction project is managed by IB Ganter GmbH as construction manager and by Walliser Bau GmbH & Co KG as executing company. The simultaneous development of the heating network and the modernization of the electricity network will create a future-oriented and resource-saving infrastructure. This commitment is an important step towards sustainable supply in the Lörrach district.
