A method for controlling the rebuilding of an electrical supply network, wherein the electrical supply network has a first network section and at least one further network section, at least one wind farm is connected to the first network section, the wind farm can be controlled via a wind farm control room, the first network section is coupled to the at least one further network section via at least one switching device in order to transmit electrical energy between the network sections, the at least one switching device is set up to disconnect the first network section from the at least one further network section in the event of a fault, a network control station is provided for the purpose of controlling the at least one switching device, wherein, in the event of a fault during which a network fault acting on the first network section occurs, the first network section is disconnected from the at least one further network section by the at least one switching device, the wind farm control room interchanges data with the network control station via a control room connection, wherein the control room connection is a failsafe communication connection between the wind farm control room and the network control station and can be operated independently of the electrical supply network, in particular can be operated even in the case of the fault in the first network section, and the wind farm receives data from the network control station via a wind farm connection, wherein the wind farm connection is a failsafe communication connection between the wind farm and the network control station and can be operated independently of the electrical supply network, in particular can be operated even in the case of the fault in the first network section, and further data which are not transmitted via the control room connection and are not transmitted via the wind farm connection are transmitted via a further data connection provided that the latter has not failed.
