50Hertz has received an approval for its Ostwind 1 offshore cable project within the EEZ from Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (BSH).
“We are greatly pleased with the permit for this last 20 kilometre section in the EEZ. This means that the entire cable route is now approved,” said Uwe Gyßer, Ostwind 1 project leader at 50Hertz. “We can now also press ahead with the project in the EEZ as planned.”
The competent authority in these matters, the Ministry for Energy of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, already granted 50Hertz its approval for the land route on 9 March 2015 and for the sea route in territorial waters on 10 July 2015.
