Western Isles HVDC connection

Not to be confused with Western HVDC Link.

The Western Isles HVDC connection is a proposed 1.8GW HVDC submarine power cable to connect the Isle of Lewis to the Scottish mainland. [1] [2] [3]

The project promoter, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, identifies the link as "one of the key investments across GB that is required to meet 2030 offshore wind targets, [and] marks a major step forward in unlocking the renewable energy potential of the Western Isles".[2]
