subsea transmission cable

National Grid has submitted a planning application for a new electricity connection between Kent and Suffolk, which it says will boost energy security.

The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem has opened a public consultation into a proposed subsea cabling development in Hebrides and Orkney.

Energy regulator Ofgem has awarded a £2 billion funding package for the Eastern Greenlink 1 (EGL1) interconnector project.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Transmission, the transmission arm of UK energy firm Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSE), has named Sumitomo Electric Van Oord Consortium as the preferred bidder for the proposed Shetland 2 high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea link cable.

The Prysmian Group has been awarded a £750 million contract to deliver the UK’s first 525kV HVDC electricity cable for Eastern Green Link 1.
