Icelink is a proposed electricity interconnector between Iceland and Great Britain. At 1,000 to 1,200 km (620 to 750 miles), the 800–1,200 MW HVDC link would be the longest sub-sea power interconnector in the world. [1]
The project partners are National Grid plc in the UK, Landsvirkjun, the state-owned generator in Iceland, and Landsnet, the Icelandic Transmission System Operator (TSO). [2]
In 2017, the project was still at the feasibility stage, [2] but, as of 2019, no further progress had been reported. [3]
According to Landsvirkjun, it will take about five years to complete feasibility and other work, and if a decision is made to go ahead, construction and installation would take a further five to six years. [3]
At the 2019 UK General Election 2019, the Democratic Unionist Party included in their manifesto a proposal for the Icelink to make landfall in Northern Ireland.[4]
