As part of the Duurzaam Ameland collaboration, Liander is upgrading Ameland’s grid connection to the mainland with a new 20 kV cable from Dokkum to the AME‑1 station on Ameland, with Shell noting that this new cable connection is planned to be in place during 2021 to support NAM’s AWG electrification project and additional solar PV on the island. A Dutch study on submarine cables further reports that in 2021 Liander laid two electricity cables to Ameland that also contain 96 fibre strands, indicating implementation of the upgraded mainland–Ameland link.
