By February 2015 Moyle Interconnector Limited had awarded a contract to Nexans Norway A.S. for the design, manufacture, testing, supply, installation, jointing and commissioning of replacement subsea metallic return conductors for the Moyle Interconnector. Nexans, the original manufacturer of the Moyle HVDC cables, was selected without a full competitive tender on the basis of its unique technical capability and existing qualified technology, with Moyle’s February 2015 correspondence to regulators confirming that Nexans would provide and install the replacement low-voltage cables needed to restore the interconnector’s long‑term reliability and full capacity.
