Empowering Great Britain for a clean and flexible energy future with the next generation of interconnectors

Summary

88% Informative

Ofgem has approved five major new undersea energy links which will further harness the vast potential of North Sea wind and help power millions of homes.

Two of the projects will also create Great Britain’s first ever Offshore Hybrid Assets (OHAs) which can directly feed energy generated by offshore wind farms into both our own and European grids.

Great Britain expected to be a net exporter of energy by 2030 due to the growing amount of homegrown wind power.

Ofgem’s cap and floor regime provides the regulated route for interconnector development in GB , designed to facilitate delivery of interconnection in a way that is economic, efficient and timely.

By 2032 GB could have 18 operational interconnectors, able to import over 18GW of capacity if all those projects with regulatory approval complete on schedule.
