The Germany-Denmark 3 (Gemini) submarine cable is a critical infrastructure project designed to enhance the interconnection between Germany and Denmark, facilitating the exchange of renewable energy. This cable serves as an essential link in the European energy transition, enabling the integration of wind energy resources from both countries into a more stable and resilient grid.
The Germany-Denmark 3 submarine cable is set to be ready for service in 2023. The project includes several key cable landing stations, which are strategically located to optimize functionality. The primary cable landing stations are positioned in Germany and Denmark, connecting at the following locations:
This submarine cable boasts a total capacity of 700 MW, allowing for significant energy transfer between the two countries. The design and engineering of the cable ensure that it can efficiently support the growing energy demands, particularly from renewable sources.
The expected lifespan of the Germany-Denmark 3 submarine cable is approximately 25 years. Throughout its operational life, the cable is anticipated to contribute to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions by enabling cleaner energy flow and supporting the larger European energy market.
