General – Interconnector
The Elia Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Amprion, one of Germany’s four TSOs, relating to the construction of a second cross-border interconnector.
Preliminary studies have shown that a second interconnector would have the potential to help both countries meet their future energy needs, creating socioeconomic welfare for consumers in Belgium and Germany – and, by extension, for the whole of Europe.
Amprion and Elia plan to publish a concept note by mid-2024 that will be the basis for the further design and development of the project.
