Commercial Operations of NordLink – Start-up Phase
Published:
In December 2020, the TSOs Statnett and TenneT will start the commercial operation of NordLink, the new interconnector between Norway and Germany. According to plan, market operation will start 01 December with delivery as of 02 December 2020. This depends on the successful completion of the transmission test phase, and the exact date will be confirmed in a later message.
For system security reasons a maximum transmission capacity of NordLink of only 700 MW can be offered to the markets initially for a maximum duration of up to four weeks. As soon as the maximum transmission capacity of NordLink can be increased to 1400 MW, we will inform the market participants. The requirements of the German action plan will still be respected.
