The Municipality of Ameland, acting as competent authority, awarded an omgevingsvergunning (planning consent) for the installation of two 20 kV medium‑voltage cables between the switching station at the Grandyk in Holwerd and the new switching station at the Oude Grazingweg in Buren on Ameland, including land and sea sections across the Wadden Sea. The permit covers works that partly conflict with existing spatial planning rules (handelen in strijd met regels ruimtelijke ordening) and enables Liander N.V. to construct the new wad cables to increase electricity transmission capacity between Ameland and the mainland.
