Icelink

Icelink is a proposed electricity interconnector between Iceland and the United Kingdom via Great Britain.

At 1,000 to 1,200 km (620 to 750 miles), the 800–1,200 MW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link would be the longest sub-sea power interconnector in the world.

[6] In 2017, the main proposal for the project was still at the feasibility stage,[2] and, as of 2019[update], no further progress had been reported.

[5] As of 2019, the "Atlantic SuperConnection" proposal had still not obtained the required financial support from the UK government.

[7] At the 2019 UK General Election 2019, the Democratic Unionist Party included in their manifesto a proposal for Icelink to make landfall in Northern Ireland.
