Nexans Supports Amprion to Extend German Grid

Wind Industry Profile of

Nexans is helping Amprion take a key section of its 400 kV transmission network underground.

The German energy transition plan, known as “Energiewende”, has set a target for 80 percent of the country’s annual electricity needs to be met by renewable energy by 2050. This requires Germany’s transmission service operators (TSOs), such as Amprion, to upgrade their high voltage (HV) power transmission networks to transport electricity generated by wind farms in the north over long distances to the main areas of consumption in the south.
