By its Network Investment Outlook webinar on 11 February 2025, RTE reported that it had launched two multi‑project calls for tenders to secure the supply of offshore substations and HVDC converter stations for AO9 and AO10 offshore wind grid connections and associated internal network reinforcements. Under this procurement, which covers AO10’s planned 2 GW and 1.2 GW HVDC onshore/offshore converter substation series, each of the two major substation contracts will be awarded to a single supplier to capture standardisation benefits across projects.
