On 19 September 2023, Global InterConnection Group (GIG) signed an exclusivity agreement with an unnamed major UK energy company to explore collaboration on Atlantic SuperConnection. The announcement framed the proposed cooperation around combining new Icelandic offshore wind generation with better utilisation of existing Icelandic hydro assets, positioning the 1.8 GW UK–Iceland interconnector to deliver security-of-supply benefits to both jurisdictions and a projected annual saving of over one million tonnes of carbon emissions. The exclusivity period was framed as a structured corporate-development window for the unnamed counterparty to assess collaboration terms, though no equity, offtake or strategic-partnership commitments were disclosed alongside the announcement.
