Total Length = Approximately 760 Km 1400 MW (1.4 GW) Capacity Operational in 2022
Welcome to Viking Link Viking Link is a proposed 1400 MW high voltage direct current (DC) electricity link between the British and Danish transmission systems connecting at Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire and Revsing in southern Jutland, Denmark. Viking Link will allow electricity to be exchanged between Great Britain and Denmark. Total length = approximately 760 km 1400 MW (1.4 GW) capacity Operational in 2022 GB GB The project is being jointly developed between National Grid Viking Link Limited and Energinet.dk. National Grid Viking Link Limited (NGVL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of National Grid Group and is legally separate from National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc (NGET) which has the licence to own and operate the high voltage electricity transmission system in England and Wales. Energinet.dk is an independent public enterprise owned by the Danish state as represented by the Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate. It owns, operates and develops the Danish electricity and gas transmission systems. CONTACT US e [email protected] t 0800 731 0561 w www.viking-link.com Why we are here Thank you for coming to this public consultation event about our proposals for Viking Link. The project is at an early stage and the impact of any proposals on local people and the environment will be carefully considered as we develop our project. We intend to apply for planning permission for the British onshore works through the local planning process and we will consult and listen carefully to local communities as we develop our plans. Today we would like to introduce the project and explain what we want to build. -

Interconnectors
Connecting for a smarter future How interconnectors are making energy better for consumers Benefiting customers today Stronger links for and tomorrow a smarter future Interconnectors are making energy more secure, affordable Interconnectors are transmission cables that allow and sustainable for consumers across Great Britain (GB) electricity to flow freely between markets. They are at and Europe. And they are set to deliver much more. the heart of the transition to a smarter energy system. Tomorrow’s energy will be cleaner, more flexible and more responsive to the individual needs of consumers. To efficiently deliver the energy system of tomorrow, European countries are working together to maximise the potential of technologies £3 billion investment like battery storage, wind and solar power. Interconnectors Since 2014, over £3 billion has been invested in 4.4 GW of new enable smarter energy systems to react quickly to changes interconnector capacity, which will more than double the existing in supply and demand, ensuring renewable energy flows capacity between GB and continental Europe by the early 2020s. from where it is being generated in large quantities, to where it is needed most. Consumers benefit from interconnectors because they open the door to cheaper energy sources and Power for 11 million homes help GB build a smarter energy system. 4.4 GW of capacity provides access to enough electricity to power National Grid recognises 11 million homes. While the future relationship between GB and the EU the challenges that remains unclear, we are confident that we will continue Brexit poses. However, to trade electricity across interconnectors. It is in the best interests of all consumers for GB to keep working closely we remain confident 9.5 GW more that trade in electricity There is potential to increase the benefits to consumers through a with the EU to build an energy system that makes the best further 9.5 GW of interconnectors that will help deliver a smarter, more use of all our energy resources. -

The Norned Hvdc Link – Cable Design and Performance
ReturnClose and to SessionReturn THE NORNED HVDC LINK – CABLE DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE Thomas WORZYK, ABB Power Systems, Sweden, [email protected] Mats SJÖBERG, ABB Power Systems, Sweden, [email protected] Jan-Erik SKOG, Statnett, Norway, [email protected] Kees KOREMAN, TenneT, The Netherlands, [email protected] ABSTRACT The NorNed link is the longest submarine power cable +450 kV system ever with a distance of 580 km. The bipolar HVDC DC-cable system with ± 450 kV dc represents the state-of-the-art of “classic” HVDC technology while modern production and installation technology helped to push forward the limit of Eemshaven -450 kV Feda HVDC power transmission. This paper describes some of the characteristics of the power cables in the NorNed link. Figure 1. NorNed main circuit configuration KEYWORDS NorNed, HVDC, mass-impregnated cable, submarine cable.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, XXX […](2013) XXX draft COMMISSION OPINION of XXX pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 and Article 10(6) of Directive 2009/72/EC – the Netherlands - Certification of TenneT TSO B.V. EN EN COMMISSION OPINION of XXX pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 and Article 10(6) of Directive 2009/72/EC – the Netherlands - Certification of TenneT TSO B.V. I. PROCEDURE On 3 May 2013 the Commission received a preliminary decision from the Dutch regulatory authority (hereafter, "ACM") on the certification of TenneT TSO B.V. (hereafter "TenneT") as Transmission System Operator (TSO) for electricity, in accordance with Article 10(6) of Directive 2009/72/EC1 (hereafter, "Electricity Directive"). Pursuant to Article 3(1) Regulation (EC) No 714/20092 (hereafter, "Electricity Regulation"), the Commission is required to examine the notified draft decision and deliver an opinion to the relevant national regulatory authority as to its compatibility with Article 10(2) and Article 9 of the Electricity Directive. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTIFIED DECISION TenneT is the owner and operator of the entire Dutch onshore electricity transmission grid. It also co-owns and co-operates with its Norwegian counterpart Statnett the subsea NorNed- cable, a 700 MW interconnector connecting the Netherlands to Norway. The request for certification hence also includes the southern half of the NorNed-cable. TenneT Holding, the mother company of TenneT, is also the owner of TenneT Germany, a German TSO following a separate certification procedure in Germany. TenneTs shares are ultimately wholly owned by the Dutch state. -
