Assessment of technical alternatives to strengthen the 400 kV transmission grid

Short description

The Danish TSO, Energinet, wants to strengthen the 400 kV transmission grid along the West coast of Jutland, from the city Holstebro to the Danish-German border a distance of 170 km, in order for the grid to be able to manage the large scale implementation of both on- and offshore wind power in the area. Energinet has proposed an overhead line solution; however the Danish Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate would like to have a second opinion from international experts whether an underground cable based solution is feasible.
