SuedLink HVDC Cable Project Overview
Theย SuedLink HVDC cable projectย forms a key part of Germanyโs energy infrastructure. It includesย two major power cable systemsย designed to transport renewable energy across the country.
NKT will deliver aย 2 GW cable link, which will become theย worldโs largest and longest underground HVDC interconnector. This system will play a critical role in supporting Germanyโs energy transition.
Connecting Renewable Energy Across Germany
Theย SuedLink corridorย begins inย Northern Germany, where it connects toย offshore wind power. It also links to theย NordLink interconnector, which deliversย hydropower from Norway to Germanyย through aย 525 kV HVDC offshore cable system, also supplied by NKT.
As a result, the project will improve grid stability and enable efficient transmission of renewable energy across long distances.
Expansion into SuedOstLink Projects
Earlier this year, NKT also announced its role in delivering most of theย 525 kV XLPE cable systemย for theย SuedOstLink corridorย in Eastern Germany. This additional project further strengthens NKTโs presence in Germanyโs grid expansion efforts.
Supporting Germanyโs Energy Transition
NKT President and CEOย Alexander Karaย said the project highlights the companyโs role in advancingย renewable energy integrationย and strengtheningย national grid connections.
