On 17 April 2023, Inelfe, the joint venture of Red Eléctrica and RTE, announced the preferred bidders for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts for the Biscay Gulf/Bay of Biscay electricity interconnection between Gatika in Spain and Cubnezais in France, covering two 1,000 MW HVDC links, the two converter stations, and associated civil works.
