Regulators approved the Caithness–Moray HVDC Link in 2014, granting the project the necessary regulatory clearance to progress from planning into detailed design and construction. The approval covered the scheme to install a ±320 kV HVDC submarine cable between Spittal (Caithness) and Blackhillock (Moray) and associated onshore reinforcement works, enabling the project to proceed to procurement and construction phases.
