In 2023, Amprion and the other German TSOs submitted the draft Netzentwicklungsplan Strom 2037/2045 (NEP 2023 edition) to BNetzA for confirmation, including BalWin1 and BalWin2 (then still named LanWin1 and LanWin3) as required 2 GW offshore grid connection systems linking future North Sea wind farms to onshore grid points at Wehrendorf and Westerkappeln. This submission initiated the formal NEP confirmation process under section 12c EnWG. BNetzA subsequently confirmed the plan on 1 March 2024, creating the legal basis for Amprion to proceed with procurement and construction.
