3 reasons why you can’t miss it

As the decisive moment for choosing 33 kV or 66 kV for many offshore projects is getting closer, it is essential to learn now from best practices with new technologies and concepts!

Utilities, wind farm owners and technology suppliers discuss technical challenges and possibilities in order to understand their requirements and implement more cost efficient offshore projects.

Since the future of 66 kV technology depends on many stakeholders, networking with your industry peers may expedite delivery of your projects.
