A Brief Overview

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) interconnectors are key to transmitting electricity efficiently over long distances. The UK operates several interconnectors connecting it with France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, and Denmark. These systems enhance energy security and allow for the efficient trading of renewable energy.

Growth and Opportunity

The integration of HVDC systems into the UK’s grid is set to grow as renewable energy output increases. Projects such as the Viking Link, operational since 2023, exemplify the potential of HVDC technology in linking grids and facilitating the exchange of clean energy.
