The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem has approved a £3.4 billion funding package to build a new 436km subsea electricity cable connecting Scotland and Yorkshire.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has announced developments for its Transmission and Distribution arms in Scotland and West London, respectively.
In its role as the energy regulator, Ofgem is acutely aware of the issues surrounding grid connections and is exploring several interventions to support the UK’s energy community to overcome this growing obstacle.
