National Grid, Tennet to study UK-NL wind/interconnection grid

摘要

National Grid Ventures and Tennet are to study development of 2 GW of interconnection between Britain and the Netherlands connecting up to 4 GW of offshore wind, the network companies said Sept. 22. The two companies aim to have a "path-finder" project defined by the end of 2021 with a view to delivering an operational asset by 2029. "The development would be the first of its kind for the UK and the Netherlands in the North Sea," the companies said. The UK targets 40 GW of offshore wind by 2030, while the Dutch have targeted 11.5 GW by 2030 and 20 GW-40 GW by 2050.
