North Atlantic Transmission One Link (NATO-L) is a 4,000-kilometre underwater powerline between Canada and Europe .

The project was sparked in 2022 after the sabotage of the Nordstream gas pipeline crossing under the Baltic Sea exposed the EU ’s dangerous overdependence on Russian energy resources.

The 6 -gigawatt ( GW ) transmission line is one of a growing number of long-distance HVDC mega-projects.

NATO -L project could be financed in eight years and operational three to five years later .

Meeting demand for clean energy in Europe and North America will future-proof’ the megaproject.

DNV calculations say power losses could see power losses as high as 13% - compared to around 4% for onshore HVDC lines.
