Trade Mission: Norwegian Offshore Suppliers Meet German TSOs Berlin

Germany is building the largest HVDC pipeline in the world. Norwegian companies have been operating offshore for decades. This is where they meet.

Innovation Norway is facilitating a targeted Trade Mission bringing Norwegian offshore suppliers to Berlin for direct engagement with Germany's three transmission system operators:

• TenneT,
• Amprion, and
• 50Hertz.

A selected group of Norwegian companies offering solutions relevant to offshore grid infrastructure — including operations & maintenance, HVDC technology, and smart systems for cost-efficient project delivery. These are companies with proven offshore track records, now ready to enter the German market.

Germany has 9 GW of installed offshore wind capacity in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, with a project pipeline of up to 50 GW HVDC by 2035. Managing that infrastructure — operating substations, maintaining export cables, keeping projects on schedule and on budget — requires deep offshore expertise. That expertise exists in Norway.

TenneT alone plans to invest €65 billion between 2025 and 2030 in expanding and maintaining its onshore and offshore grid. Amprion and 50Hertz face similar challenges. The upcoming wave of O&M contracts, HVDC station builds, and Tier 1 subcontracting opportunities makes now the right time to map the Norwegian supplier landscape.
