Connection Work on Baltic 2 Offshore Wind Farm in Full Swing

The work on the cable connection of the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm to the grid is progressing at full speed off the Baltic coast of the German Federal State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

More than half of the project’s cables are now lying on the seabed.

A total of sixty kilometers of submarine cables will be laid, before the cable ends are ultimately lifted again to the surface and the sections are connected with special joints.

Over the past few months, first cable segments have been laid between EnBW Baltic 1 and the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farms, 50 Hertz’s special technician for cable systems Marian Mügel said on Tuesday during an inspection of the work.
