Elia and Energinet's collaboration is advanced following preliminary study on hybrid interconnector between Belgium and Denmark
System operators Elia (Belgium) and Energinet (Denmark) are to continue collaborating on the implementation of what could become a world first: the first undersea connection between two artificial energy islands which will be able to exchange power between the two countries and at the same time transport electricity from offshore wind farms to the mainland.
A preliminary study has shown that the project is both socioeconomically and technically feasible and will result in significant CO2 reductions at a European level.
The project could be a world first: if it goes ahead, it will serve as a subsea connection between two artificial energy islands in the northern and southern parts of the North Sea that will also transport the energy from wind farms to the mainland.
The hybrid interconnector will be called Triton Link, after the ancient Greek god of the sea.
Elia Group will also partner with Energinet via its German subsidiary 50Hertz on a similar project that will link Denmark and Germany.

Elia Group SA/NV is the Belgian transmission system operator, transmitting electricity efficiently, reliably and securely from producers to distribution system operators and major industrial users. The group is responsible for importing and exporting electricity from and to neighbouring countries.
Elia Group SA/NV owns the entire Belgian very high voltage grid (150 to 380 kV) and some 94% (ownership and user rights) of the Belgian high-voltage grid (30 to 70 kV). The grid is a key link between electricity markets in northern and southern Europe. It also links Belgian producers and consumers. Belgium's recent investment in interconnection capacity with its neighbours makes it one of the most open and interconnected grids in Europe.
Elia Group SA/NV has recently expanded its activities on a broader European level and, following its acquisition of the German TSO 50Hertz and in cooperation with Industry Funds Management (IFM), is now one of the top five transmission system operators in Europe.
