The Energinet Lyngsa-Laeso submarine cable is a significant infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the renewable energy landscape in Denmark. This submarine cable connects the island of Laeso to the mainland at Lyngsa, facilitating the transmission of electricity generated from renewable sources and contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
The cable is set to be ready for service in 2024, marking a crucial milestone in the development of Denmark's energy grid. By connecting the island of Laeso to the national grid, it will enable the efficient transfer of electricity, particularly from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.
Cable landing stations play a vital role in the functionality of the submarine cable. The Lyngsa cable landing station is located on the mainland, while the Laeso cable landing station serves the island. These stations are essential for the termination of the submarine cable and for ensuring the smooth transmission of electricity between the submerged cable and the onshore network.
The total capacity of the Energinet Lyngsa-Laeso submarine cable is 400 MW, which allows a substantial amount of renewable energy to be transported, bolstering Denmark’s commitment to green energy solutions. This capacity will not only support current energy demands but also accommodate future increases as renewable energy generation expands in the region.
The expected lifespan of the cable is approximately 25 years, representing a long-term investment in Denmark's energy infrastructure. This durability is crucial for ensuring stable and reliable power transmission over the years, supporting the country's transition to a greener energy system.
