Eutelsat expands satellite link for Germany's Amprion power grid
Eutelsat · EuroSkyPark · Amprion
EuroSkyPark widens its Eutelsat-based network to cover Amprion's North Sea offshore grid sites, no price disclosed.
what happened
Eutelsat expanded its capacity agreement with German secure-communications specialist EuroSkyPark to support grid operator Amprion, extending satellite connectivity from Amprion's onshore substations across Germany to its North Sea offshore installations. The deal combines Eutelsat's GEO and OneWeb LEO capacity, including flexible capacity from the Eutelsat 10B satellite, with EuroSkyPark's network for grid-control communications independent of terrestrial infrastructure. No financial terms were disclosed.
why it matters
Grid operators are a recurring buyer type for satellite backup links as extreme-weather and physical-security risk to terrestrial networks grows. This is a named expansion of an existing relationship rather than a new customer win, but it shows Eutelsat selling its GEO and OneWeb fleets as one bundled offering to critical-infrastructure customers.
