In May 2012, EWE NETZ GmbH began onshore construction works for the new submarine power cable to Borkum, installing an approximately 1,000‑metre plastic conduit by horizontal drilling from the Wadden Sea to the island as the first construction phase of the project, ahead of subsequent works on the mainland. The company later reported completion of this first phase in a 10 July 2012 press release.
