On 9 December Hitachi ABB Power Grids announced energisation of the NordLink project, a 623 km long high voltage direct current interconnection that for the first time links German and Norwegian power markets and is the most powerful such interconnection in Europe. It marks a major milestone in Europe’s goal of linking national transmission grids to create an efficient and integrated energy market.
NordLink is the world’s first HVDC Light bi-pole installation to perform at a level of 525 kV and 1400 MW, nearly doubling the power transmission capacity of earlier systems. The increased integration of renewables from both countries, in combination with the usage of pioneering technology, supports the green energy transition.
