Hitachi Energy was selected by National Grid for its HVDC converter systems framework, covering the supply of VSC‑based HVDC converter systems for projects including LionLink. Through this framework, Hitachi Energy can be contracted to design, manufacture and install onshore HVDC converter station equipment and systems required for LionLink’s UK converter station, as well as other National Grid HVDC links. The multi‑year framework secures converter technology and delivery capacity for early projects such as Eastern Green Link 4, Sealink and LionLink.
