Rhine crossing A-Nord: egeplast Power Protect pipes secure the DC route beneath the dike and the Rhine
In the district of Kleve, Amprion reached another milestone in August 2025 as part of the construction of the A-Nord DC connection: the Rhine crossing between Rees (Haffen) and Xanten (Obermörmter).
Suedlink: TransnetBW Again Opts for egeplast Power Protect
TransnetBW has awarded further lots for the construction of the SuedLink underground cable route. Here too, the underground cables will be protected by the egeplast Power Protect PE-RT system – in addition to the ongoing deliveries for lots 9 and 10.
egeplast Power Protect Pipes Protect New High-Voltage Cable from Bayernwerk
The new high-voltage line, an approximately seven-kilometer-long underground cable, is protected by the egeplast Power Protect cable protection pipe system, which was partially installed using horizontal directional drilling and plowing methods.
Professional Handling of a Major Project Using the A-Nord Example – Underground Cable Route Currently in Full Operation
The professional handling of major projects is becoming increasingly important given the large number of underground cable projects running simultaneously in the direct current sector.
BorWin4 & DolWin4 – South Section: Expansion of the Green Power Grid is Progressing
In the southern Emsland region, the expansion of the green power grid is entering a significant phase with the grid connection to BorWin4 & DolWin 4.
Amprion Goes Offshore: Expansion and Conversion of the Hanekenfähr Substation
In the course of the energy transition, the energy landscape in southern Emsland is undergoing change. At the Hanekenfähr site, the Emsland nuclear power plant will be taken off the grid at the end of 2022. At the same time, increasing amounts of wind energy from the north must be integrated into the grid in…
Celtic Interconnector – Greater Energy Security Thanks to New Interconnector between Ireland and France
The Celtic Interconnector project is a technically demanding construction project aimed at connecting the power grids of Ireland and France via a 575 km high-voltage subsea cable. This ambitious infrastructure project is intended to facilitate cross-border electricity supply and contribute to European climate targets.
Environmentally Compatible Connection to the Extra-High Voltage Grid
Off the island of Baltrum, TenneT began connecting three offshore wind farms to the extra-high voltage grid in the summer of 2024. The new 525 kV DC connections of the 2 GW offshore grid connection projects BalWin3+4 and LanWin1 will strengthen the German power grid and increase the share of green electricity.
A-Nord: Main artery of the energy transition
The A-Nord power line will bring wind energy from the North Sea to North Rhine-Westphalia, providing two gigawatts of transmission capacity from 2027.
Die Energiewende nimmt Fahrt auf – wir leisten unseren Beitrag!
„Neue Hauptschlagader der Energiewende“: Die Stromtrasse A-Nord wird Windenergie von der Nordsee nach Nordrhein-Westfalen bringen. Ab 2027 werden so zwei Gigawatt Übertragungskapazität bereitgestellt. Die rund 300 km lange Leitung wird als Erdkabel verlegt.
New Installation technology for power cable Installations: Premiere for KaRoSch, an innovative Installation sled from Bohlen & Doyen
In the Wahle-Mecklar pilot project of the project developer TenneT, Bohlen & Doyen used the "KaRoSch" cable pipe sled for the underground cabling section, a new Installation technology for power cables, and thus achieved a significant increase in efficiency: an up to 25% higher Installation speed, increased occupational safety and a significant reduction in resource…
Shaping the energy transition. Amprion’s path.
To advance the energy transition and pave the way for a climate-friendly energy system, transmission system operator Amprion is expanding the German power grid.
BorWin5 Onshore – De Romein GmbH is Working on the Energy Transition
Major project BorWin5 for safe and low-loss transport of green offshore electricity is progressing – De Romein GmbH is constructing the onshore route from Hilgenriedersiel to the Garrel/Ost converter station with the egeplast Power Protect protective pipe system.
Expansion of the European Energy Network
Amprion and the Belgian transmission system operator Elia built the first direct power connection between Germany and Belgium.
Power Utility Expands Grid for Renewable Energies
Given the positive development of the wind farm facilities in Fläming (Brandenburg), the existing grid infrastructure has been expanded since January 2017. A 110 kV cable connection now runs from the Petkus substation to the Schönewalde Süd grid connection point. For this purpose, the grid operator deploys the high-temperature resistant protective pipe ege-com® Macroduct High-T…
