The Biscay Gulf (Bay of Biscay) HVDC interconnection project was included in ENTSO-E’s 2020 Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP), described as a new 2,000 MW, 370 km submarine link between the Gatica and Cubnezais 400 kV substations to raise Iberian–European exchange capacity to 5,000 MW. The plan notes the need for system studies by Red Eléctrica and RTE to assess internal reinforcements and technical requirements for the HVDC connection.
