The second of three subsea cable systems for the Ostwind 2 project in the Baltic Sea has been laid in the seabed.
This brings the connection of the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm another step closer, said transmission system operator 50Hertz.
The third and final cable is to be installed in 2022.
The laying of the first cable system was already completed in September, establishing the connection to the Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm.
50Hertz head of offshore Henrich Quick said: “We kept our word. In 2016, we promised to install two cable systems within five years.
“We have achieved this ambitious goal in part through good and trusting cooperation with partners and suppliers.”
Ostwind 2 is the project to connect the Baltic Sea wind farms Arcadis Ost 1 and Baltic Eagle to the German extra-high voltage grid.
