Project management for the SylWin 1 land cable route

In April 2015, with the SylWin1 project, TenneT began operating the second DC connection for wind farms in the eastern North Sea. This is an 864 MW grid connection for several wind farms at sea off Sylt, which is around 205 kilometres long. Of this, 160 kilometres are submarine cables and 45 kilometres are land cables. The energy generated is transported to the onshore converter station in Büttel. SylWin1 can supply more than one million households with clean wind energy.

G.E.O.S. was commissioned with the project management for this project.
