UK's $5.6 Billion Electricity 'Superhighway' Gets Green Light
After years of stagnation, the U.K.’s green transition finally appears to be underway, with great support from the country’s recently elected Labour government. Plans for an electricity ‘superhighway’ between Scotland and England have been approved, supported by new wind and solar energy projects across the U.K. This month, the U.K.’s energy regulator, Ofgem, approved a $5.6 billion electricity “superhighway” project, which will transport renewable power 300 miles between north-east Scotland and the north of England. The Eastern Green Link subsea power cable will be the largest in the country to date, with phase one expected to transport enough energy to power around 2 million homes in England. This will be the biggest single investment in the U.S. grid to date, to be funded by energy bills. Work on the project by SSE and National Grid is expected to commence later this year, with phase one to be completed by 2029.
