In 2021, ElecLink completed installation of its 51 km HVDC cable through the Channel Tunnel using a purpose-built battery-powered work train and monorail system, after which the interconnector cable was subjected to testing and jointing of 2.5 km sections in cleanrooms inside the tunnel. These tests verified the performance of the installed cable system ahead of subsequent commissioning and commercial operation of the UK–France link.
