The energy landscape of Germany is set for a significant change, with the construction of a converter in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia. This project is a crucial part of the Corridor B grid expansion project, a key initiative in the country's energy transition.
The converter, to be built by Amprion, will be responsible for transporting wind power from the Wilhelmshaven region to Westphalia. The converter will convert direct current into alternating current, making it usable for the region via the Lippborg transformer station.
Amprion has taken over a twelve-hectare area from RWE, north of the power plant site in Schmehausen, for the construction of the converter. The company is expected to initiate the immissions protection permitting procedure for the construction of the converter with the City of Hamm at the beginning of 2026.
The permitting procedure for the converter will begin at the start of next year. The project is a central component of the energy transition, set to transport power from the North Sea coast to North Rhine-Westphalia starting in the early 2030s.
The transport capacity of the converter corresponds to the demand of approximately four million people. Both connections of Corridor B can each transmit a capacity of two gigawatts (GW), meaning the power transported by the converter in Hamm will be substantial.
The planned converter forms the southern conclusion of the earth cable project Corridor B (Project 49 Federal Requirements Act). Further information regarding the converter project in Hamm can be found in the service portal.
For enquiries about the project, the Press Office for the converter project in Hamm can be contacted at Theodor-Heuss-Platz 16, 59065 Hamm. However, the website for the converter project in Hamm is not specified in the provided text.
The power transported by the converter in Hamm will originate from the Wilhelmshaven region, contributing significantly to the renewable energy supply of North Rhine-Westphalia. The energy transition in Germany is well underway, and projects like the converter in Hamm are paving the way for a sustainable future.
