In April 2021, NordLink entered full commercial operation when TenneT, Statnett and KfW formally took over the 1.4 GW HVDC interconnector from converter supplier Hitachi ABB Power Grids, marking the end of the trial period and the transition to regular service. The 623 km "green cable" between Norway and Germany is now fully operational, reliably integrated into the electricity market and expected to supply around 3.6 million households with climate-neutral energy by exchanging Norwegian hydropower with German wind power.
