Western Isles HVDC connection

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

Not to be confused with Western HVDC Link.

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".
