SP Transmission (SP Energy Networks) and National Grid Electricity Transmission established a joint delivery and operating arrangement for the Western HVDC Link, a £1.2 billion, 2,200 MW bi‑directional subsea HVDC electricity link between Hunterston (Scotland) and Flintshire Bridge (Wales/England). The partnership delivered, commissioned and operated the asset, which entered commercial operation in 2017 to enable large‑scale transfer of Scottish renewable generation to England and Wales and to strengthen GB transmission capacity.
