In the Esbjerg Declaration of the North Sea Energy Summit back in May 2022, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium agreed to jointly install at least 65 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
Transmission System Operator (TSO) TenneT will account for nearly two-thirds of this, 40 GW of which – 20 GW each in the German and Dutch North Sea. And recent geopolitical developments underscore the need to invest in power transmission to ensure energy security through an accelerated energy transition.
