NKT has been selected by TenneT to supply HVDC power cable systems for two projects in Germany.
It will design, produce and install 525kV onshore and offshore equipment for the LanWin7 scheme and part of the NordOstLink project.
The former is one of the offshore grid connection systems planned to connect to the multi-terminal hub in Pöschendorf, Schleswig-Holstein, transferring North Sea wind power to the mainland network.
NordOstLink will see additional cables laid to improve capacity and flexibility on the grid.
Commissioning of both systems is expected in 2033-34, according to NKT.
The contracts, which have a combined value of around €1bn, were awarded under an existing multi-year framework agreement with the Dutch-German transmission system operator TenneT.
NKT chief executive Claes Westerlind said: “We are thrilled to once again be selected as a key partner for TenneT’s ambitious 2GW Program.
“This confirms our strong partnership and NKT’s leading position in the high-voltage DC power cable market.
“We look forward to applying our advanced power cable technology to these two additional projects in Germany, which will enable the energy transition in Europe by facilitating the efficient transport of wind power from the North Sea to the onshore grid.”
