Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project placed on hold following the withdrawal of its planning consent application on 3 July 2025 and the earlier decline of its CfD revenue application on 26 June 2025. The 3.6 GW HVDC generation export link from Morocco to the UK, which had reached FID, faces fundamental obstacles with no clear route to resumption: the UK planning pathway is closed and the revenue support mechanism has been rejected. The developer has not formally cancelled the project.
