Apr 8, 2024 - Green energy providers face a potential shortage of transmission cables
The rapid growth in renewable energy capacity is driving demand for long-distance transmission cables. These can carry energy ashore from distant, deepwater wind farms, or transfer it between countries. But as the FT`s Rachel Millard explains, analysts believe we could be facing a cable shortage by the second half of this decade, and getting plugged into grids could prove a greater challenge than generating the power itself.
