The Kriegers Flak Combined Grid Solution (CGS) is now completely connected to the grid and in operation.
According to Energinet, the trial runs were successfully completed and the recent restart tests after a simulated power outage on both the Danish and the German sides.
Kriegers Flak CGS connects the Danish region of Zealand with the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania via the 605 MW Kriegers Flak and 288 MW Baltic 2 offshore wind farms.
It is the world’s first offshore interconnector using the national grid connections of offshore wind farms to connect the power grids of the two countries.

One of the widest-ranging bills of the U.S. Congress’s legislative year, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (
NDAA), is nearing the finish line as both the House and Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill last week. Now the NDAA is on its way to President Trump’s desk for his signature (or potential veto more on that below). As with most NDAAs in recent years, Congress has included a host of sanctions and similar measures, with this year’s bill targeting Turkey’s purchase of a Russian air defense missile system, Russian energy export pipelines, and Chinese Military Companies and other activities in the United States.

The German state where the controversial Russia-led natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 is planned to land has proposed the creation of a state-protected foundation that would hold the assets of Nord Stream in a bid to protect the project from U.S. sanctions, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing a proposal of the provincial government of Mecklenburg–West Pomerania. As Oil Price
reports, the proposal is to hold the Nord Stream 2 assets inside a foundation whose official purpose will be to protect the environment, according to the document Bloomberg has seen.
The United States, several European countries, including the Baltic states and Poland, as well as the European Union (EU), have expressed concern about Russia using gas sales and its gas monopoly Gazprom as a political tool.
