Xlinks First Ltd.
Description
XLCC, a dedicated cable manufacturing company established by Xlinks, is planned to supply all high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cables for the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project. The project requires four parallel HVDC interconnector cables running along a roughly 4,000 km subsea route between Morocco and Great Britain, corresponding to about 16,000 km of manufactured subsea cable. XLCC intends to produce these long-length HVDC cables from new factories in the UK, including a planned facility at Hunterston in Scotland, and to support their deployment using a purpose-designed cable-laying vessel. This role positions XLCC as the primary subsea cable supplier for the interconnector element of the project, underpinning the long-distance transmission of renewable power from Morocco to the UK.
