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 relies again on 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 Bayernwerk high-voltage cable
The new high-voltage line, an underground cable around seven kilometres long, is protected by the egeplast Power Protect cable protection conduit system, which was installed in part using horizontal directional drilling and ploughing.
Professional management of a major project using the example of A-Nord – underground cable route currently in full operation
The professional management of major projects is becoming increasingly important given the large number of underground cable projects running simultaneously in the field of direct current.
BorWin4 & DolWin4 – South Section: Expansion of the Green Power Grid Progresses
In the southern Emsland region, the expansion of the green power grid enters a significant phase with the grid connection to BorWin4 & DolWin 4.
Amprion Goes Offshore: Expansion and Conversion of the Hanekenfähr Substation
As part of the energy transition, the energy landscape in southern Emsland is undergoing transformation. At the Hanekenfähr site, the Emsland nuclear power plant will be taken offline at the end of 2022. At the same time, increasing amounts of wind energy from the north must be effectively integrated into the grid.
Celtic Interconnector – Enhanced Energy Security Through New Interconnection 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 submarine cable. This ambitious infrastructure project is designed to facilitate cross-border power 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 summer 2024. The new 525 kV DC links 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.
The energy transition is gaining momentum – and we are doing our part!
“The new main artery of the energy transition”: The A-Nord power link will bring wind energy from the North Sea to North Rhine-Westphalia. From 2027, two gigawatts of transmission capacity will be provided. The approximately 300 km long line will be laid as underground cable.
New Laying Technique for Power Cable Installations: Premiere for KaRoSch, an innovative installation carriage from Bohlen & Doyen
In the Wahle-Mecklar pilot project by project developer TenneT, Bohlen & Doyen used the "KaRoSch" cable pipe carriage, a new laying technique for power cables, for the underground cabling section, achieving a significant increase in efficiency: up to 25% higher laying speed, increased occupational safety, and a significant reduction in resource consumption.
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 Contributes to the Energy Transition
Major project BorWin5 for safe and low-loss transmission of green offshore power progresses – De Romein GmbH constructs onshore route from Hilgenriedersiel to Garrel/Ost converter station using egeplast Power Protect conduit system.
Expansion of the European energy grid
Amprion and the Belgian transmission system operator Elia built the first direct power connection between Germany and Belgium.
Energy utility expands grid for renewable energies
Due to the positive development of the wind farms in Fläming (Brandenburg), the existing grid infrastructure has been undergoing expansion since January 2017. A 110 kV cable connection now leads from the Petkus substation to the Schönewalde Süd grid connection point. In this project, the grid operator is using the high-temperature-resistant protective pipe ege-com® Macroduct…
