Against the current background of the war in Ukraine, Germany and the three Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania want to strengthen their energy sovereignty and cooperate more closely.
Despite the tense situation on the energy markets and the bottlenecks in gas delivery, the security of the system and supply was never at risk this winter. In addition to the measures implemented by the Federal Government to ensure the security of supply and the stability of the system as well as the mild temperatures, wind power, solar power and biomass played a supporting role, as transmission system operator 50Hertz stated today at its annual press conference in Berlin.
50Hertz and EVH GmbH (EVH), a company of the Stadtwerke Halle group, are collaborating to build a power-to-heat plant. The PtH unit will have a capacity of 40 megawatts (MW) and will already be operational by the end of the year. The investment of up to 15 million euros is made by 50Hertz. Between the two companies, a so called Redispatch-contract was signed.
Merger of all three components of the offshore substation have taken place in recent weeks
Offshore hub will develop wind power capacity of around 2,000 MW / German-Danish joint project open to other partners in the future / Preliminary studies on economic and technical feasibility ongoing
The TSOs of the Baltic Sea Region responsible for maintaining and developing the transmission systems agreed today to start the preparation work for the establishment of a cooperation for the Baltic Sea offshore grid.
The transmission system operators 50Hertz and Energinet as well as the coal-fired power plant Rostock successfully performed a live simulation of a restart of the power grid after a power outage in Continental Europe with voltage supplied from Denmark. For the first time, a land and sea cable connection between two countries as well as offshore wind power were used in real conditions to restart a power plant.
Transmission system operator 50Hertz has launched an economic and climate initiative for the grid area the company is responsible for: the eastern German states as well as the city states of Berlin and Hamburg.
Milestone reached by linking the Danish and the German transmission grids
