Jun 9, 2024 - High voltage electrons from Morocco to the UK


Electrifying everything with renewable technologies like solar PV, wind turbines and battery energy storage is a `holy grail` that energy transition naysayers tell us is an impossible dream. In 2021, an ambitious UK start-up called Xlinks set out to prove that theory wrong, embarking upon a multi-billion dollar project to install 7.5GW of solar capacity, 3.5GW of wind capacity and 22.5GWh of battery energy storage in Morocco that will be enough to run 7 million British homes for more than 20 hours a day, all year round, via four 4,000km subsea HVDC cables. In 2024 they received the seal of approval and a multi-million pound cash injection from Britain`s largest electricity provider. We talk directly to the Chief Executives of both companies.
