AQUIND Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence
AQUIND Overview
AQUIND Interconnector will link the British and French electric power grids to make energy markets more efficient, improve the security of supply and reduce carbon emissions. AQUIND Interconnector is a new subsea and underground High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) electric power transmission link between the South Coast of England and Normandy in France. By linking the British and French electric power grids, it will make energy markets more efficient, improve the security of supply and enable greater flexibility as power grids evolve to adapt to different sources of renewable energy and changes in demand trends such as the development of electric vehicle. With the capacity of 2,000 MW, AQUIND Interconnector will transmit 16,000,000 MWh of electricity each year between the two connected countries, which is 5% and 3% of the total consumption of Great Britain and France respectively, i.e. consumption by millions of households. The technology used for the interconnection will allow transmission of electricity in both directions. This will result in more efficient use of production capacities and better management of electricity consumption and production fluctuations. The interconnector will also be able to provide various services to the national system operators in both countries to help ensure safe and reliable operation of national electricity transmission systems. The project may also include fibre-optic data transmission cables laid together with the electric cables. AQUIND Interconnector will use well-tested and reliable technology. Without overhead lines, AQUIND strives to achieve as low visual impact as practically possible. AQUIND Interconnector is being developed without government subsidies. This will ensure additional security and diversity of energy supply, promote energy market competition and enhance value for energy consumers.
