Jacobs has chosen Essen-based consulting company DMT Group to take up two jobs in Germany's "SuedLink" (SouthLink). The project cost 10 billion euros to build a 700-kilometer-long underground cable to reduce the wind from the wind. From northern Germany to Bavaria and Baden. Württemberg is located in the less windy and densely populated southern part of the country.

Known as the longest underground power cable in the world, the 525kV DC transmission line will begin operation in 2027 and will promote Germany's ambition to achieve 80% renewable energy generation by 2050.

It is one of three long-distance HVDC transmission lines that Germany plans to integrate renewable energy. Designated by the European Union as a "project of common interest", it is stipulated in the "Federal Demand Planning Act" of 2012. Jacobs was appointed as SuedLink's overall project manager in October 2019. One of DMT's work is to plan two support shafts to guide a 16-kilometer cable through a 200-meter deep mine in the Heilbronn region of northern Baden-Wurttemberg.

The other is to obtain land rights in Thuringia and Hessen. DMT stated in a news briefing to GCR that this requires managing SuedLink construction and operation contracts with different owners; negotiating rights and possible land damage compensation; and ensuring that the project operator can inspect the land under construction, lay cables and perform maintenance.

"SuedLink is of great significance to the future of renewable energy and our sustainable future," said Diego Sancho Calderon, deputy director of project management at DMT. "We are proud to support Germany's green energy transition and make this important project safe. Deliver reliably."Editor/Baohongying
