TenneT has selected NKT and Prysmian to install five 525 kV XLPE HVDC cable connections for grid projects which will link new Dutch offshore wind farms to the national grid. TenneT’s next-generation, 2 GW grid connections in the Netherlands are scheduled to be completed between 2028 and 2030.
NKT will build the cable connections for the IJmuiden Ver Beta, IJmuiden Ver Gamma and Nederwiek 2 offshore areas which connect to the onshore grid at Maasvlakte in Port of Rotterdam. Prysmian is responsible for the connections of the IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Nederwiek 1 sites, whose onshore landing point is at Sloegebied in Zeeland.
