    German grid company 50Hertz and Danish grid operator Energinet on Tuesday launched a new offshore connection project to connect offshore wind turbines with the power markets of both countries, creating a blueprint
    for how to integrate wind power capacity in the Baltic Sea.

    The new subsea interconnection system is connected to offshore wind farms Baltic 1, Baltic 2 and, from 2021, Kriegers Flak, allowing power from these plants to flow to both markets
    , the two companies said in a joint statement.

    The infrastructure, called Joint Grid Solutions (CGS), costs €300 million to connect two offshore converter stations to each other and combine
    them with existing onshore connections for wind farms.
    CGS will improve security
    of supply by improving transmission capacity allocation in the region.

    Not only that, but it will also enable more electricity trade
    between the Nordic, Baltic and continental European regions.
    Chris Peeters, CEO of Elia Group, said: "In this way, CGS can be used in both energy markets and allows access to renewable energy
    at the lowest cost.

    The European Commission wants to strengthen interconnection to make intermittent renewables more reliable as member states seek ways to transition to a low-carbon economy
    .

    50Hertz in northeast Germany, which operates in sparsely populated areas with abundant wind energy, aims to be able to deliver 100 percent of its electricity
    from renewable sources by 2032.
    By the first half of 2020, its grid has reached 65%
    green electricity.

    Scandinavia, on the other hand, has huge hydroelectric power generation and storage facilities
    .
    The 600 MW Kriegers Flak will be Denmark's largest offshore wind farm, powering
    600,000 homes.
