TenneT Observes 21% Rise with Base of 2019 in Terms of Wind Energy Transmission from North Sea

In the first half of the year, the amount of wind energy transmitted from the North Sea onshore by transmission system operator TenneT has risen to 11.51 TWh. This corresponds to an increase of 21% compared to the first half of 2019 (9.51 TWh). Power transmission from the North Sea accounts for 15.6% of the total wind power generation in Germany, which reached 73.7 TWh in the first half of the year. ���The expansion and integration of offshore wind energy is of central importance for the European energy transition. With Borssele alpha and – from mid-August – Borssele beta, we have now also successfully completed the first two offshore connections in the Dutch North Sea,” says Tim Meyerjürgens, COO of TenneT.
