The
1.4GW
DC
link
aims
to
be
operational
by
the
end
of
2018,
subject
to
a
final
investment
decision
in
mid-2014,
award
of
licences
and
construction
supply-chain
capacity,
say
the
partners.
The
subsea
cable
will
require
a
total
investment
of
about
€1.5bn-€2bn
($1.9bn-$2.6bn)
and
will
run
between
Tonstad,
Vest-Agder
in
Norway
and
Wilster,
Schleswig-Holstein
in
Germany.
NORD.LINK
is
designed
to
boost
the
flow
of
renewable
energy
between
the
two
nations,
and
is
one
of
two
projects
being
considered.
The
second,
called
NorGer,
will
be
placed
on
the
back-burner
with
a
view
to
possible
implementation…
