After more than three years of political turmoil, the U.K. is scheduled to finally leave the European Union at the end of January 2020. While severing deep ties, the U.K. continues forging new links with continental neighbors, at least in the power infrastructure sector.
As the U.K.’s energy transmission company, National Grid (NG), invests in upgrading onshore assets, the company is adding to its three existing electricity interconnectors to continental Europe, with the EU part funding the newest project. NG plans to have a total of 7.8 GW of import-export capacity in place by 2024.
