Hitachi Energy and Larsen & Toubro Secure New Grid Projects in Netherlands and Germany
Hitachi Energy (ticker: HTCH) has partnered with Larsen & Toubro to secure two new high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grid connection projects, Nederwiek3 in the Netherlands and LanWin5 in Germany. These contracts are part of a multi-year agreement between Hitachi Energy, L&T, and TenneT aimed at delivering 4GW of offshore wind energy from the North Sea to onshore grids. The two HVDC links will each operate at 2GW capacity using Hitachi’s proprietary HVDC Light technology. The projects are expected to supply electricity for approximately four million households in both countries and support Europe's transition toward clean power by integrating renewable energy into national grids. L&T is responsible for engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of offshore infrastructure. The developments align with broader efforts like the proposed LionLink interconnector between the UK and Netherlands. Hitachi Energy emphasized its leadership role in delivering advanced grid solutions while reinforcing collaborative ties with Indian partner Larsen & Toubro.
