The European Commission, via the CEF Energy programme administered by CINEA, signed a €645.2 million grant agreement to support the Danish part of the Bornholm Energy Island hybrid interconnector, funding two new converter stations on Bornholm and Zealand and an approximately 200 km submarine HVDC cable plus a 17 km onshore connection between Bornholm and Zealand. The grant, awarded to Energinet for the joint Energinet–50Hertz project, provides capital support that reduces Denmark’s investment burden while enabling up to 3 GW of offshore wind power to be transmitted through the Bornholm hub into the Danish and German grids.
