Project description:



The BEI project was initiated politically in Denmark and agreed as a bilateral partnership between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany. It is being implemented by two trans-mission system operators (TSOs) of the participating countries

The BEI project is designed as an energy hub with hybrid connectors linking Denmark and Germany and feeding offshore wind generation into the onshore grids.

The objectives of the innovative and visionary BEI project are to utilize 3 GW of offshore wind potential in the Baltic Sea and to promote the green transition in Germany and Denmark. This is to be achieved by planning and building an offshore hybrid interconnector between the Danish Island of Zealand and Germany via and including the energy hub on the Danish Island of Bornholm. The wind energy collected on Bornholm will be transmitted via a Multiterminal High Voltage Direct Current System (MT HVDC) with multiple connections to substations in both countries.

The BEI interconnector can be prepared for future expansion, including the connection of further interconnectors to other countries and the integration of additional generation capacity or loads.

The BEI project has been identified as a flagship project for sustainability. By tapping into the previously untapped offshore wind potential for the Danish and German markets, BEI is making an important contribution to achieving the goal of decarbonizing the European energy market.
