The German government’s new round of plans will exceed its 2035 offshore wind power target by 40 GW when installed capacity will reach 50 GW.
To achieve this goal, Germany will provide 4GW of offshore wind power per year from 2027 onwards.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), the coastal states of Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia, and transmission system operators TenneT, 50Hertz and Amprion signed an offshore wind energy agreement unveiling the ambitious plan.
EllaLink, a high capacity and low latency fiber optic submarine cable directly connecting Europe and Latin America, will create a direct connection between Sines and the Lisbon metropolitan area, known as the Olisipo system.
The Olisipo system is designed to connect all international submarine cable landings in Portugal to the main data centers in the region, using a secure and risk-proof infrastructure.
This new fiber optic submarine cable will land at Carcavelos and Sines, with branch paths built to connect Seixal and Sesimbra cable landings to the Setubal region.
Since September, Europe has experienced the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline, the breakage of the Norwegian submarine cable, and the deliberate cutting of the German railroad cable.
