Grid Constraint Event

Viking Link has been operated at reduced capacity since it entered commercial operation on 29 December 2023 because the western Danish onshore grid was not sufficiently reinforced. The constraint is driven by limited capacity in the internal western Danish transmission network; full 1.4 GW commercial capability was withheld pending completion of the required local grid reinforcements. The restriction on throughput was recorded by system planners and public authorities and remains in place until the Danish grid works are completed.
