New Subsea Cables to Connect North Africa Renewable Energy to UK and Europe
-
Plans to build subsea cables connecting solar and wind farms in Egypt and North Africa to the UK and Europe to provide renewable energy.
-
The cables will transmit electricity generated from desert solar farms and wind turbines near the Suez Canal.
-
The electricity will help meet growing energy demand and bolster energy security in a net zero world.
-
One project involves a 600 mile subsea cable from Egypt to Greece, distributing power across Europe.
-
Another project is a 2,400 mile cable from Morocco to Devon, bringing solar power from North Africa to the UK.
