In September 2021, France’s Ministry of the Energy Transition validated the ‘Route of Least Impact’ for the Biscay Gulf electricity interconnection, following around five years of consultation and route optimisation work by RTE and REE. This route validation for the French section enabled RTE to obtain all the necessary authorisations to start work and effectively concluded the detailed routing and corridor selection for the project in France.
