The German power transmission system operator 50Hertz and its Danish counterpart Energinet have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to pursue collaboration in the "Bornholm Energy Island" project to connect Denmark and Germany to an offshore hub with around 2,000 MW of wind power capacity that is planned on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm (Denmark). By 2030, offshore wind parks surrounding Bornholm would feed their power generation through submarine cables into a power interconnector on the island, which would supply electricity to both Denmark and Germany. Connection to other littoral states and offshore wind parks in the Baltic Sea would be developed gradually.
In October 2020, the two companies completed the 400 MW Kriegers Flak - Combined Grid Solution (CGS) transmission project that will enable Denmark and Germany to exchange power via offshore wind parks in the Baltic Sea. The project, which required a €300m investment, connects the Baltic 1, Baltic 2 wind parks (which total 336 MW) and, from 2021 with Kriegers Flak (600 MW), with the two countries.
