The three projects are part of Germany’s overall plan to install 70 GW of offshore wind by 2045 and will support the transmission of the energy generated in the North Sea to consumers in the Western and Southern regions of the country, according to Prysmian.

BalWin1 and BalWin2 each will transmit up to 2 GW of energy from the future offshore wind farms to be located in the German North Sea BalWin cluster to the grid connection points in Wehrendorf (Lower Saxony) and Westerkappeln (North Rhine-Westphalia).
