Transmission system operators Energinet and 50Hertz have postponed the commissioning of the 400MW Kriegers Flak Combined Grid Solution between Germany and Denmark until May 2019.
Construction work at the conversion station has been delayed mainly because of delays completing the onshore converter station near Rostock, Danish grid operator Energinet said. The TSOs blamed the German labour market for the delay.
The commissioning of the 400MW grid link had already been delayed once to the first quarter of 2019. Commissioning has been due by the end of 2018.
In July, two offshore cables were installed for the Kriegers Flak CGS. The cables connect the platform of the Danish 605MW Kriegers Flak project with the platform of EnBW’s 288MW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm in German waters, which has been in operation since 2015.
Once operational, the CGS will connect the grids in the Danish region of Sjaelland with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Germany.
