Onshore Construction Start

Onshore construction for Liander’s Wadkabels Holwerd–Ameland project started in August 2021, when contractor Verkley began laying two parallel land cables from the Liander substation in Holwerd to the transition joint on the salt marsh, and a parallel land cable of about 2 km from the transition joint to the station at Buren on Ameland, along with a 96-core fibre-optic cable. These works form part of Liander’s reinforcement and improvement of the electricity network to address capacity shortages and enable export of electricity from Ameland.
