A consortium of Siemens Energy and Prysmian Powerlink will connect two North Sea offshore wind farms to the grid. The Veja Mate and Global Tech 1 offshore wind farms, which will have a combined power generating capacity of as much as 800 megawatts (MW), will be connected to the grid via a submarine cable link carrying high-voltage direct current (HVDC). BorWin 2 will be the first offshore wind farm connection ever realized applying VSC multilevel technology with a rating of 800 MW.
