- The European HVDC market is poised for significant growth as it aligns with the expansion of offshore wind projects. European countries are planning to add 70 GW of offshore wind. The European Commission has set forth ambitious objectives, aiming to double cross-border power capacity within the EU by 2030. Moreover, the EU’s goal of reaching 15% interconnection by 2030 underscores the necessity for cross-border interconnections and transfer of offshore wind energy. Notably, the UK stands out as a leader in this market, with 23 GW of planned HVDC projects in collaboration with other European nations.
This infographic discusses how the cross-border interconnections will drive the HVDC market in Europe.
