Germany’s Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) granted planning approval for TenneT’s BorWin5 offshore grid connection system in the German North Sea, covering the BorWin epsilon offshore converter platform and the submarine transmission cable that will connect the 960 MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm to the mainland. The decision confirms consent for the HVDC converter station and the approximately 120-kilometre submarine cable route via Norderney to Hilgenriedersiel, enabling the 900 MW grid connection to proceed towards construction and commissioning by the end of 2025.
