NORD.LINK is a proposed subsea HVDC power cable between Norway and Germany. The feasibility study was completed at the end of 2008. If constructed, the capacity of NORD.LINK is expected to be 1,400 MW. It is estimated to cost €1.4 billion. The interconnector is planned installed between a new substation at Ertsmyra in Norway to Diele or Brunsbüttel substation in Germany. The new connection can be operational by 2017–2018.

 Statnett SF owns the project, whilst, the feasibility study was carried out together with the German transmission system operator Transpower Stromübertragungs (former E.ON Netz). A cable between Norway and Germany is listed in the EU's new priorities for 2020 and beyond.
