LABES_NEU_7_Leitungen

This indicator shows the status of transmission lines in Switzerland and analyses the land cover on which these infrastructures are built. Transmission lines are assessed on the basis of TLM data. An extract from TLM_VERSORGUNGSBAUTE (OBJEKTART: Hochspannungsleitungen) is used to calculate the length consumption. In addition, the area statistics layer (NOLC04) is used to differentiate land types into different categories. The total length of transmission lines in Switzerland, in the different biogeographical regions and in the different cantons is calculated by overlay operations for year 2015 and year 2020 (see appendices for further details).
