Suedlink Cable Installation Begins for Major Green Energy Project

The ambitious Suedlink project aims to transport renewable energy from northern to southern Germany, with completion expected by 2028.

Cable installation for the Suedlink power line has commenced in Heeslingen, Lower Saxony, marking a significant step in Germany's energy transition.
Suedlink will span approximately 700 kilometers, delivering green electricity from the wind-rich north to up to ten million households in southern Germany.
The project includes two main direct current lines, starting in Schleswig-Holstein and ending in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
The construction involves complex procedures, including underground cabling and specialized drilling techniques for crossing infrastructure like roads and rivers.
While the project's completion is expected by the end of 2028, the financial impact on consumer electricity prices remains uncertain, with costs estimated at around ten billion euros.
