‘Chaos’ feared over planned Morocco to Devon power cable link

Those behind the proposed Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project say it could provide electricity for seven million homes by the early 2030s.

Chief executive officer James Humfrey said it would deliver energy “when the UK needs it most, in the evenings”.

“This will be the longest cable in the world but it is the same technology that’s been used elsewhere. This is tried and tested technology.”

Mr Humfrey said “I understand residents’ concerns and we want to work on those”, adding the scheme was a nationally significant infrastructure project that could help reduce the UK’s CO2 emissions.

The cables would connect to a solar, wind and battery farm in Morocco, importing renewable energy to the national grid.
