The Western HVDC Link

Alan Capon
I did originally answer the previous thread, but have since deleted my response and I believe a new thread with a proper and correct title is the correct way of answering. 


More info on the fault here: https://www.energy-reporters.com/transmission/italys-prysmian-under-fire-over-uk-interconnector-failure/ 


Reports suggest an undersea cable fault in the vicinity of Liverpool Bay. 


Regards,


Alan.

    Power cables / pipelines are often buried, but most of the time their protection relies on them being shown on shipping charts for vessels to avoid. The use of ship tracking software helps too, as vessels know there is a reasonable chance of them being identified if they catch something with their anchor.
