Forecast estimate. Per Amprion press release 16 Nov 2023, Amprion (DE) and Statnett (NO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to investigate the feasibility of a hybrid interconnector linking offshore wind between the two countries. No COD year published; project at feasibility-study stage. Reasoning: MoU 2023 + 3-4 year feasibility study (typical for hybrid MPIs given regulatory complexity) → 2027 development decision → FID 2030-2031 → 5-year HVDC build → COD 2036 central case. Benchmarked against NordLink (same Amprion-Statnett-class corridor, simpler point-to-point, 6 years MoU to COD); the hybrid MPI category adds 3-4 years for regulatory and offshore wind integration complexity. Supersede when developers publish a quantified timeline.
