NORD.LINK is a proposed subsea HVDC power cable between Norway and Germany. The feasibility study was launched at the beginning of 2008 and will be finalized by autumn 2008. If constructed, the capacity of NORD.LINK is expected to be in the range of 700 to 1400 MW.[1]
The partners of this project are Norwegian transmission system operator Statnett and German transmission system operators E.ON Netz. A cable between Norway and Germany is listed also in the EU's program for trans-European electricity networks (TEN-E program).[1]
