In October 2023, work began on the 700-kilometre Suedlink high-voltage direct current (HVDC) line that will connect wind farms in northern Germany to industrial centres in the south. The line is expected to help balance the power grid and enable the transmission of renewable energy across the country.
According to Germany Trade & Invest, the 2.8 gigawatt project will run underground for most of its route and is scheduled for completion by the late 2020s. It forms part of a broader upgrade of Germany’s grid to integrate more renewable energy. Suedlink will ease congestion, improve reliability and ensure that renewable electricity from the North Sea can power homes and businesses across the country.
