The board of Energinet has approved a major project that expands the electricity grid east of the Great Belt with new high-voltage stations and more high-voltage connections. The purpose is to meet the increasing need for electricity in line with the green transition. The state-owned company announced this in a press release.
The project includes four new high-voltage stations, a new 400 kV connection and two new 220 kV connections, which are scheduled to go into operation in 2033.
Together, they will ensure a more efficient transport of electricity from, among other things, wind turbines and solar cells on Lolland and Falster to consumers. In addition, a new 400 kV and 220 kV high-voltage station north of Vordingborg, a new 220 kV high-voltage station at Nørre Radsted on Lolland and a new 220 kV high-voltage station at Eskilstrup on Falster are planned for the new project. A new 400 kV connection will be built between Vordingborg and Ringsbjerg near Køge. This is a section of approximately 47 km. A new 220 kV connection of approximately 28 km will be established between Vordingborg and Eskilstrup. And a double 220 kV connection of approximately 41 km will be established between Vordingborg and Nørre Radsted.
- When we plan the new connections, we take into account, among other things, existing homes, nature, the environment and landscape conditions. The 400 kV connections will be laid as cables on sections where special considerations justify it - for example, in particularly vulnerable nature or where there are many homes, says Oddleif A. Nielsen, Chief Project Manager at Energinet.
Energinet is also working on a new regulatory process, which was adopted in a broad, political agreement that is intended to ensure a faster expansion of the electricity grid. The expectation is that an environmental assessment decision and planning basis can be obtained within approximately one and a half years, while it normally takes three to four years for similar construction projects in Energinet.
