Prysmian Group has won selection from SP Transmission plc and National Grid Electricity Transmission plc as the preferred bidder for the Eastern Green Link 4 (EGL4) HVDC cable project. The connection will link Scotland and England through the North Sea, improving the strength and reliability of the U.K.โs energy grid.
EGL4 plays a central role in boosting U.K. energy security and supporting the shift to low-carbon power. The project carries an estimated value of โฌ2 billion, and both sides continue to finalize contract terms. Once operational, EGL4 will make cleaner and more affordable power more accessible nationwide.
The interconnector will stretch roughly 646 km, including a 530 km subsea cable between Kinghorn, Fife, and Anderby Creek or West Norfolk. Additional underground cable sections onshore will complete the system. The project will create stronger north-south links and help integrate more renewable power into the national grid.
Prysmian already leads major interconnector projects across the region. The company delivered Eastern Green Link 1 and 2 and the Viking Link Project, the worldโs longest high-voltage underground and submarine interconnection. These projects emphasize Prysmianโs expertise in reliable HVDC technology and sustainable energy infrastructure.
