On 15 June 2023, Inelfe awarded Hitachi Energy, in consortium with VINCI Energies and VINCI Construction, a contract to supply four HVDC converter stations for the Biscay Gulf subsea interconnection between France and Spain. The two parallel 1,000 MW, ±400 kV HVDC links—each with a converter station at Gatika in Spain and Cubnezais in France—will provide a combined 2,000 MW of capacity, improving cross‑border security of supply and facilitating integration of emission‑free electricity, with delivery of the stations expected in 2028.
