Atlantic SuperConnection entered into a formal National Grid Connection Agreement with National Grid Electricity System Operator Limited on 29 March 2019, securing approval to connect a 1 GW HVDC interconnector cable from Iceland to the GB transmission system. This agreement, which underpins the project’s grid access near Hull, is cited by the developer as a key asset validating prior development expenditure and enabling progression of the UK–Iceland link concept.
