The project:<\/strong> UK-based renewables developer Xlinks is the project developer of the Morocco-UK<\/a> interconnector and the renewables projects from which it will source power. The company will lay four 3.8k km high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cables to transport 3.6 GW of renewable energy \u2014 nearly 8% of the the UK\u2019s current requirements \u2014 from a 10.5 GW solar and wind farm in Morocco\u2019s Guelmim-Oued Noun region to Britain\u2019s power grid in Devon. The Xlinks project boasts a total size of 1.5 mn sqm \u2014 200k sqm of solar arrays alone. The renewable plants will be supported by a 5 GW battery storage facility. The project is expected to be fully operational by 2030.<\/p>\n

Xlinks has been lining up capital and UAE\u2019s Taqa is onboard: <\/strong>In April, Xlinks secured<\/a> GBP 25 mn in funding from the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) and GBP 5 mn from UK-based energy supplier and renewables investor Octopus Energy for the project.
