Volta Partners Limited

Volta Partners Limited is an energy infrastructure investor and power project development specialist with a focus on large‑scale electricity transmission assets. The firm holds a 12.5% ownership stake in Tarchon Energy Ltd, which is developing an electricity interconnector between Germany and Great Britain. Through this interest, Volta Partners is involved in enabling a direct power link between the two countries’ energy markets, designed to enhance system security and reliability and support the integration of intermittent renewable generation such as wind and solar. Within the Tarchon Energy project, Volta Partners contributes development expertise and sector relationships built around high‑voltage transmission and interconnector schemes. Public information highlights that the Tarchon interconnector is planned as a combination of land and subsea cables of around 610 km in length, with a bidirectional capacity of 1.4 GW, enough to supply up to 1.5 million homes. The project aims to facilitate cross‑border flows of surplus carbon‑free electricity, delivering economic and environmental benefits including investment, job creation, more affordable low‑carbon power and stronger energy system resilience. Volta Partners is described as having professional relationships with key UK regulatory and system stakeholders such as Ofgem, National Grid and the Crown Estate. The team behind Tarchon Energy, in which Volta Partners participates, also brings experience from other major interconnector developments linking Great Britain with continental Europe, including the NeuConnect project between Great Britain and Germany and the GridLink project between Great Britain and France. This positions Volta Partners as an active participant in European power market integration and cross‑border transmission infrastructure.
