Wedoany.com Report-Dec 24,The Dutch government has included a new electricity interconnector between the Netherlands and the UK in the latest Offshore Wind Energy Development Framework. This interconnector, LionLink, will be realised through the Nederwiek 3 offshore grid project.
LionLink is a hybrid interconnector, as TenneT is developing an offshore grid connection for the Nederwiek 3 wind farm, with a cable extending to both the Netherlands and the UK. The hybrid interconnector will bring wind power from Nederwiek 3 ashore while also linking the Dutch and European energy markets with the UK energy market. TenneT is developing the connection on the Dutch side, while UK partner National Grid Ventures is responsible for the connection from the UK border in the North Sea to the onshore station in Great Britain.
