The consortium will undertake the work for transmission system operator Transpower, a subsidiary of the Dutch grid operator TenneT.

The wind farm will be connected via submarine cables using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology.

The Nordsee-Ost wind farm is located about 85km offshore to the north-west of the island of Helgoland. The grid connection will have a transmission capacity of up to 576MW.
