Nexans and Red Eléctrica are future-proofing the Balearic Islands' power grid with a strategic new Mallorca-Menorca interconnection.
Fit-out works are currently underway on the converter stations in Germany and the UK for NeuConnect, a high-voltage submarine cable that will create the first direct energy transmission link between the two countries. The construction of the 24-meter-high, 70-meter-wide converter hall buildings reac
Nexans has started the installation of the underground land cable for an electricity interconnector that will connect the Orkney Islands to the UK mainland for the first time. Orkney Link, developed by SSEN Transmission, will comprise a new substation being built at Finstown, approximately 14 kilome
XOCEAN has been tasked with performing geophysical survey operations, starting this month, for the 2,200 MW Western HVDC Link cable route between Hunterston, Scotland, and the Wirral, England. XOCEAN’s uncrewed survey vessels (USVs) X-05 and X-29 will be used for the geophysical inspection survey of
first cable pull-ins at Lemóniz in northern Spain, marking what it describes as an important construction milestone on a multibillion-euro interconnector, which will increase electricity exchange capacity between Spain and France from 2.8 GW to 5 GW.
Greece’s transmission system operator (TSO) Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO), as the project promoter of the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) that will connect Cyprus and Israel, has submitted an investment approval request to the regulatory authorities of both countries. This is the nec
