The Biscay Gulf (Bay of Biscay) interconnection was reaffirmed in ENTSO-E’s 2022 Continental South West Regional Investment Plan, linked to the TYNDP 2022 cycle, as a 2,000 MW, 370 km HVDC submarine link between Gatica and Cubnezais that will increase exchange capacity between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe to 5,000 MW.
