As part of the grid connection and cable details submitted with the Mona Offshore Wind Project’s Development Consent Order application in February 2024, the developer confirmed that a High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) export cable solution had been selected for the Mona transmission system. The HVAC option was chosen as the preferred technology for transmitting power from the offshore substation platforms to shore and on to the National Grid connection at Bodelwyddan because it was assessed to minimise electrical losses while also reducing the size and amount of transmission infrastructure required.
