Offshore wind development is being pushed further out into deeper waters, emphasizing longer, higher-capacity transmission systems. Most newer offshore wind farms from Europe to the U.S. are looking at hundreds of kilometers of transmission lines:Â the U.K. Crown Estate’s Round 3 allocations, interconnection systems from Germany’s North Sea to the U.K.’s National Grid Western Link, and the proposed Atlantic Wind Connector in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic.
