Danish offshore cabling specialist NKT has sealed a deal with Scottish SSEN Transmission to supply power cables for two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission links.
The company has inked a framework agreement covering transmission links from the Western Isles to the Scottish mainland, and from Spittal in Caithness to Peterhead.
The transmission links are part of Britain’s move for a major upgrade of the electricity transmission network called The Pathway to 2030 Holistic Network Design. The final construction contracts for the two projects are expected to be called off in the first half of 2026.
“We are very satisfied with the progression of the projects and continuing the long-term collaboration with SSEN Transmission to strengthen the interconnection of the Scottish power grid. The limited notice to proceed with the projects is a statement of the exceptional collaboration with SSEN Transmission on interconnector projects like the Caithness-Moray HVDC Link and the ongoing Shetland HVDC Link,” said Darren Fennell, executive vice president and head of HV Solutions Karlskrona in NKT. |
