National Grid to Bring Clean Energy Via New Electricity Link
Read MoreHide Full Article
National Grid plc (NGG - Free Report) announced that it has started construction on Viking Link, a high-voltage electricity interconnector between Britain and Denmark. Viking Link is a joint venture between National Grid Ventures, part of National Grid, and the Danish electricity system owner and operator, Energinet.
This 1.4-gigawatt high-voltage electricity interconnector will aid U.K. to provide clean power to nearly one and half million homes, as well as substantially lower carbon footprint. This subsea electricity cable is expected to be functional from 2023.
This electricity interconnector will be the longest in the world, and stretch 475 miles between Lincolnshire in eastern England and South Jutland in Denmark. This project will involve an expenditure of $2.06 billion (£1.82 billion).
National Grid Interconnectors Bring Clean Energy
The National Grid interconnectors in operation and those that are scheduled to become operational in the next few years will play a very crucial role in U.K’s gradual transition toward clean energy sources.
National Grid has three interconnectors to Netherlands, France and Belgium that are currently in operation, as well as three under construction (in France, Norway and Denmark). There are another three interconnector projects that are in the early stages of development. By 2030, these interconnectors will ensure that 90% of electricity imported in U.K. will be from clean sources.
Other Utilities Lowering Carbon Emissions
National Grid, with the strategic interconnector development, is importing clean energy in U.K. and meeting the needs of millions of homes.
A few utilities in the United States like Xcel Energy (XEL - Free Report) , Duke Energy Corporation (DUK - Free Report) and DTE Energy (DTE - Free Report) have already started working on becoming net-zero emission companies over the next few decades. Despite expected increases in electricity load over the next few decades, these utilities, among others, have taken the decision of offering clean electricity to consumers.
It has outperformed the industry in the past 12 months.
5 Stocks Set to Double
Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
