DELAYED +2mo (Apr 2026): Inelfe’s detailed works schedule for the Biscay Gulf/Bay of Biscay interconnection specifies "Marine cable installation works" running from Q2 2026 to Q3 2027. The original projected completion date 2027‑07‑01 fell early in Q3 and did not clearly align with this window. Adjusting marine cable installation completion to the end of Q3 2027 (30 September 2027) brings the milestone into line with the official Q3 2027 completion horizon while still consistent with the stated 2028 commissioning year. --- Inelfe’s schedule foresees completion of marine cable installation for the Bay of Biscay HVDC interconnection by the third quarter of 2027. By this time, all planned submarine HVDC cables between the Spanish and French coasts are expected to be installed along the agreed route avoiding the Capbreton canyon.
