Description

DELAYED +3yr (Apr 2026): Developer timeline shows “Regulatory approval in France and the UK” in 2024, but CRE’s 19 Jan 2022 decision rejected GridLink’s investment request and CRE’s 5 Mar 2024 consultation still treats GridLink as only a candidate project with no new approval. With no Ofgem/UK coordinated decision visible by early 2026, I push this milestone to late 2026 as a more realistic indicative date. --- Regulatory approval in both France and the UK is planned for 2024 as part of the GridLink Interconnector project timeline, representing a future milestone in obtaining necessary regulatory clearances before construction and operation.
