Over the past decades, thousands of kilometres of high-voltage submarine cables have been installed, making them a critical element of our electricity infrastructure. Most prominently, they enable the transmission of offshore-generated wind energy by serving as array and export cables. However, the main application of submarine cables is still interconnectors – cables transporting large amounts of power from one market to another, facilitating the increasing incorporation of intermittent renewable energy sources as part of the green energy transition.
