Apr 24, 2023 - LionLink: A vital step toward an integrated North Sea grid
We’re developing a first-of-its-kind electricity link to connect offshore wind between the UK and the Netherlands. Designed together with our Dutch partners TenneT, LionLink (formerly known as EuroLink) is a multi-purpose interconnector (MPI) that can supply around 1.8 gigawatts of clean electricity, enough to power approximately 1.8 million homes.
What makes LionLink different? Like a conventional point-to-point interconnector, LionLink will enable the cross border transmission of clean electricity via subsea cables. However, it’s called a Multi-Purpose Interconnector (MPI) because it will also connect to offshore wind farms. This means that instead of individual wind farms connecting one by one to the shore, MPIs such as LionLink, will allow clusters of offshore wind farms to connect all in one go, plugging into the energy systems of neighbouring countries. LionLink will be the first step in the journey to a more interconnected North Sea.
