XLCC (the Xlinks group’s cable manufacturing arm) secured detailed planning approval for an HVDC cable factory at Hunterston and stated that its first production order was four 3,800 km HVDC cables for the Xlinks Morocco–UK Power Project. The decision enabled XLCC to progress factory construction (work planned to start in early 2024) and to target cable production around 2026 to support delivery of the project’s subsea HVDC systems.
