We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, solutions for energy transmission with direct current at high voltages, is a sustainable long-term solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect power grids with minimal losses. In addition to energy transmission, HVDC technology also alleviates power quality issues and can contribute to the stability of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long-distance underwater transmission, direct current is the only realistic option for energy transmission.
