Balfour Beatty has successfully laid the final piece of UK land cable required for National Grid’s new interconnector which on completion will connect the British and Danish power grids. Balfour Beatty used specialist machinery to reel the final piece of land cable into position near Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire, marking the 118th cable laid in the 65km land route which runs from the coast to Bicker Fen Substation where imported green energy will join the UK transmission system. The Viking Link electricity interconnector project will contribute to the UK Government’s carbon reduction commitment to reduce all greenhouse emissions to net zero by 2050, by providing access to a well-developed, low-cost renewable energy market.
