Tiny Devon village with population of 286 will be connected to MOROCCO | Daily Mail Online

  • This proposal is clearly intended to connect into the UK grid system, so the very small population in the UK village where the cable lands is a red herring.

    I can see the merits of such a scheme as fossil fuels become more expensive and climate change concerns grow.

    I think that the battery would be better placed at the UK end in order to provide short term emergency power when the cable is out of order. 

    It would be the worlds longest submarine power cable, by a considerable margin.
