NorGer - Energy from Norway

Fabian ChristJuly 20, 2011

NorGer, a Norwegian-Swiss joint enterprise, is planning to lay a cable across the North Sea, connecting Norway and Germany. The link is expected to provide 1,400 megawatts of power, enough to replace the output of an entire nuclear power plant.
