The cables at the landfall are connected to the electricity cables on land, from where the electricity produced offshore can feed in at the high-voltage transformer station in Wijk aan Zee.

The NBOS consortium will now connect the end of the second cable to the remaining part offshore. Using two cable-laying vessels, a burial vessel and a burial machine, the consortium will install the remainder of the export cable and bury it at the ‘socket’ that TenneT has built 53 kilometres off the coast of Egmond aan Zee.
