According to the Guardian, Nemo, a submarine high-voltage direct current system connecting the UK and Belgium, will be completed and put into operation in early 2019 with a total investment of £600 million, which will be the first new generation of interconnection system
to deepen the continent's power grid after the UK announced its departure from the European Union.
The Nemo system is currently in the final stages of testing and is expected to begin transmitting electricity along an 80-mile subsea path along the seabed between Richborough and Zeebrugge in Kent, starting in early 2019, becoming the first next-generation power interconnection system since 2011 and the first power transmission system
in the UK to connect directly to Belgium.
While the UK was expected to import electricity to a greater extent at the time of construction, in the short term, Nemo will support
Belgium.
Six of the country's seven nuclear power plants went offline this winter due to repairs and safety inspections, raising fears of blackouts
.
This means that when the UK power station is fully operational, it will initially export electricity
through the Nemo system.
Business Secretary Greg Clark praised the project as continuing to "work across borders with our European partners.
"
The UK has four power interconnection systems connecting France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Northern Ireland, with France and the Netherlands having large
power interconnection transmission capacity.
However, the UK's rapidly changing energy mix, relatively high electricity prices and government support have laid the foundation
for the rapid expansion of grid interconnection.
"When we are doing the energy transition, we will have a lot of changes
in the process of generating electricity.
As a result, grid interconnection is becoming increasingly important," said
John Pettiloo, CEO of National Grid.
Nemo is one of four grid interconnections under construction by National Grid, including a 720-kilometre submarine cable system connecting Norway's hydroelectric resources and a 760-kilometre submarine cable system connecting Danish wind farms, which is currently the longest submarine cable system
in the world.
