De Romein wins contract for German high voltage grid expansion

As the energy market continues to expand, along with significant investments in pipeline infrastructure, there is an increasing demand for HVDC (high-voltage direct current) cable infrastructure to transmit power generated by onshore and offshore wind farms. De Romein Group plays an important role in this expansion.

German transmission system operator Amprion awarded a contract for civil engineering services for the Rhein-Main Link project to De Romein Group’s newly created joint venture. The contract includes the creation of a 600-kilometre-long cable system from Lower Saxony to the Rhein-Main economic region in Hesse. De Romein’s Joint Venture (50%/50%) will provide civil engineering as well as the construction of the future energy corridor required to transport the electricity generated by offshore wind farms in the North Sea to the Rhein-Main region in southern Germany. The preparatory phase of the project has now commenced, and the construction of the Rhein-Main Link is scheduled to start in 2028, with expected completion in 2033.
