Ofgem approves SSE’s $323m Orkney energy transmission link

17 Sep 2019

SCOTLAND, UK - A planned $323 million transmission link from the Orkney islands to the UK mainland has been given the green light by Ofgem, the national energy regulatory body, following a consultation.


The 220 MW interconnector cable, proposed by SSE subsidiary SSE Networks (SSEN), would allow Orkney to distribute energy from new onshore wind and marine power projects to the UK mainland, reports Energy Voice.

Approval for the link is conditional on a number of wind projects on Orkney winning a UK Government Contracts for Difference (CfD) bid.

The construction of the interconnector is set for completion in 2023.
