Forecast COD estimate for cable hindcast/forecast. Reasoning: Per the Amprion-50Hertz-TenneT joint partner-seeking publication (Q3 2025), NeuLink is at the UK-partner-seeking stage with applications due 3 October 2025, submitted Q2 2025 for TYNDP 2026 listing consideration. Backed by DESNZ + BMWK. Build-cycle precedent: NeuConnect ~11 years initiation to COD (2017->2028); 50Hertz BEI (Bornholm Energy Island) targets COD 2034 from earlier-2020s start. Realistic NeuLink path: UK partner appointed late 2025 / early 2026, joint development 2026-2029, FID 2029-2030, 5-year HVDC build, COD 2035 central case. Supersede when developers publish a quantified timeline.
