An article in today's Times suggests that National Grid have been investing in marine interconnectors instead of building more robustness into our own network.
Wow, that must be the longest posting since I joined this forum!
IFA2 = "Interconnexion France-Angleterre 2". It is a joint venture between the national grid and RTE, which is the equivalent in France and a subsidiary of EdF. So in fact, it is as much a way of France selling excess capacity (nuclear baseload?) as UK importing a scarce resource.
Locally it met with quite a lot of opposition. What's wrong with a big shed at the corner of a former Naval air station?
I had wondered whether Brexit would scupper it on the basis that tariffs might make it uneconomical, but evidently not.
At least it gives me something to look at when I go out for a run - not only the shed, but the marine and coastal work. ?
