NKT announced on 12 November 2026 the successful delivery of extra-long 525 kV HVDC cable sections (each exceeding five kilometres in continuous length) for the SuedLink Elbe crossing for TenneT Germany. It confirms execution capability on an existing project but contains no new order value, guidance change or financial figures, so the near-term price impact is limited.

Catalysts
  • • Completed delivery of 525 kV HVDC cable sections for the River Elbe tunnel crossing
  • • Next phase: pulling cables through the tunnel and connecting to SuedLink
Risk Factors
  • • No order value, revenue or margin figures disclosed
  • • Installation under the river still ahead, so execution risk remains

🎯 Key Takeaways

  • NKT delivered 525 kV HVDC cable sections exceeding five kilometres in continuous length.
  • The cables are designed for the River Elbe tunnel crossing, a critical component of the SuedLink transmission line managed by TenneT Germany.
  • The logistics operation required marine transport, floating-crane lifts, and specialized heavy-load road transport from NKT's Karlskrona factory.
  • Eliminating cable joints within the tunnel is intended to enhance the long-term reliability of the SuedLink infrastructure.

📝 Executive Summary

NKT has successfully delivered extra-long 525 kV HVDC power cable sections for the SuedLink project's River Elbe crossing in Germany. Each cable section exceeds five kilometres in length, requiring a specialized logistics operation to transport the components from the company's factory in Karlskrona, Sweden, to the installation site.

❓ FAQ

Is this a new contract for NKT?

No. SuedLink is an ongoing project with TenneT Germany; the announcement covers the successful delivery of specially engineered cable sections for the River Elbe crossing, not a new order.
