Germany, Schleswig-Holstein: TenneT recently awarded contracts for the installation of 525 kV HVDC cable systems in 10 projects.
The contract $6 B contract was awarded to NKT, Nexans, and a consortium consisting of Jan De Nul, LS Cable, and Denys.
NKT will be responsible for the connections of Nederwiek 3, which will land either at Geertruidenberg or Moerdijk, as well as the connections for Doordewind 1 and Doordewind 2, which will land at Eemshaven. Nexans has been awarded the contract for cable connections for BalWin3 and LanWin4, to be connected at Wilhelmshaven, and LanWin2 in Lower Saxony, which will be connected in the Heide area of Schleswig-Holstein.
The consortium formed by Jan De Nul, LS Cable, and Denys will handle the cable connections for BalWin4 and LanWin1 in Lower Saxony, both to be connected in the Unterweser area, as well as LanWin5 in the Rastede area. Additionally, this consortium has secured the contract for the TenneT portion of the onshore 525 kV DC corridor NordOstLink in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, which is a collaborative project with 50Hertz.
“After recent awarding of the first five cable connections and the announcement of the suppliers for the sea- and land-based converter stations, we are again very proud to announce the partners for the multi-year agreement to produce and install the cables for these crucial and innovative grid connection systems for the energy transition”, said Tim Meyerjürgens, COO TenneT. “Together, we will deliver around 7,000 kilometres of HVDC cable for fifteen on- and offshore grid connection systems in Germany and the Netherlands by 2032 with this award alone.”
