Project description:

TenneT is going to build a new 380/150 kV high-voltage substation near Halsteren. This will be connected to the new 150kV substation near Zierikzee via an underground cable. The project will connect the region Schouwen-Duiveland to the national high-voltage grid. As a result, the network in the region is more reliable and the capacity is expanding considerably, providing  connection of new sustainable initiatives.

The 150 kV cable route is approximately 30 km. In addition, the Mastgat is crossed by means of a horizontal directional drilling of 2800m, a first for TenneT and the Netherlands.
