The new EWE NETZ submarine power cable between Manslagt on the mainland and the island of Borkum was put into operation on 26 November 2013, marking the completion of nearly four years of planning and construction and fully securing the island’s electricity supply. The cable, laid in the environmentally sensitive Lower Saxony Wadden Sea and described by Stadtwerke Borkum as an additional EWE submarine cable installed in 2012 and commissioned in 2013, is now in regular commercial service.
