Atlantic SuperConnnection LLP Information

Atlantic SuperConnection is leading a project to build a c. 1,500km high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable - the "SuperConnection" - to bring low carbon hydroelectric and geothermal energy from Iceland to the UK. The SuperConnection will provide around 1 GW of flexible baseload capacity to help meet the UK's future energy demand – enough electricity to power approximately 1 million households – at a highly-competitive strike price of around £65/MWh. Funding for the multi-billion pound SuperConnection will be led by Disruptive Capital Finance - an investor with a successful track record in early stage and private equity ventures. Subject to Government support, the SuperConnection is anticipated to be completed and operational by 2026. This timeline will help the UK manage energy demand, including the gap created by closures of coal and retiring nuclear power plants.
