UGG Fiber Build Advances in Kusel-Altenglan as Berkatal, Meißner and Wehretal Remain in Limbo

Municipalities barred from Weiße-Flecken subsidies say months of silence have stalled planning.

Overview

  • UGG tells Rheinpfalz it aims to finish work in the Verbandsgemeinde Kusel-Altenglan by mid‑2026, with most households to be connected.
  • Company officials report civil engineering is about 80% complete there, with roughly 100 remaining horizontal drills and repair of construction damages still pending.
  • Residents in Kusel-Altenglan can still sign for a free connection while UGG construction sites are active, with potential extra costs after completion.
  • Mayors in Berkatal, Meißner and Wehretal say UGG has not contacted them since June, eroding trust and complicating projects such as Abterode’s road works.
  • UGG’s declared interest blocks access to Weiße-Flecken funding in those towns, as the company promises Q4 meetings to outline 2026–2027 plans and some municipalities lay empty ducts at their own expense.
