We’re developing a first-of-its-kind electricity link between the UK and the Netherlands, a vital step toward an integrated North Sea grid.
LionLink will deliver a range of benefits, including:
First of its kind technology
LionLink will enable the cross-border transmission of clean electricity via subsea cables. As an Offshore Hybrid Asset (OHA), LionLink will also connect an offshore wind farm to the shore.
At the moment, offshore wind farms and interconnectors operate separately, connecting to the shore individually. In the future, OHAs could enable offshore wind and interconnectors to work together. Instead of individual wind farms connecting one by one to the shore, OHAs will allow clusters of offshore wind farms to connect all in one go, plugging into the energy systems of neighbouring countries. This is what our proposed LionLink will do.
Watch our animation below which explains how OHAs will work, and how LionLink is the first step towards an integrated North Sea grid.
