explained.Viking Link, a joint venture between Danish Energinet and British National Grid, will include approximately 765 km of high voltage direct current (DC) cables supporting the promotion of renewable energy utilization, access to sustainable electricity generation, and enhanced security of electricity supplies
Fugro Surveys Viking Link
Fugro said it completed a seabed survey for the Viking Link, one of the longest DC electricity interconnectors that will link the U.K. and Danish electricity supplies. The Viking Link, a joint venture between the U.K.’s National Grid and Denmark’s Energinet, is a proposed 1,400-megawatt high voltage direct current electricity link, which passes under the North Sea, from Revsing in Denmark, to Bicker Fenn in the U.K. The interconnector will enable more effective use of renewable energy, access to sustainable electricity generation and improved security of electricity supplies.

is the highest capacity link of its kind, based on voltage source converter (VSC) technology, to go into commercial operation. The interconnector establishes an important link between the Irish and U.K. grids, enabling cross-border power flows and enhancing grid reliability and security of electricity supplies. The new link also facilitates power trading between the two countries and connects Ireland to the European grid. As Ireland expands its wind power capacity, it can export surplus electricity to the UK, and can import power when required. A 262 km cable system connects Woodland in County

new 72 kilovolt (kV) cable system will replace an existing cable that is approaching the end of its operating life. It will increase the transmission capacity of the existing power link to ensure that the island’s 4,100 inhabitants and thriving fishing industry continue to receive reliable electricity supplies. ABB will deliver the entire 17.5 kilometer (km) high-voltage cable system, including a 13 km submarine section, a 4.5 km underground section, and an integrated fiber-optic cable for telecommunications and temperature monitoring of the power cables. As part of the turnkey solution, ABB
