Proposed Submarine Power Cables
- EuroAsia Interconnector, a 1,000 km submarine power cable, reaching depths of up to 2,000 meters under sea level, with the capacity to transmit 2,000 megawatts of electricity connecting Asia and Europe (Israel-Cyprus-Greece)
- Champlain Hudson Power Express, 335-mile line. The Transmission Developers Company of Toronto, Ontario, is proposing "to use the for the most ambitious underwater transmission project yet. Beginning south of Montreal, a 335-mile line would run along the bottom of Lake Champlain, down the bed of the Hudson all the way to New York City."
- Power Bridge, Hawaii
- Power Bridge, State of Maine
- Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands
- 400 kV HVDC India to Sri Lanka
- Atlantic Wind Connection between Delaware and New Jersey, potentially between Virginia and New York
- 100 megawatts 165 km Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and province of Nova Scotia
- 220 kV HVAC, 225 megawatts, 117 km Magħtab (Malta) and Ragusa (Sicily)
- The 58.9-km, 161-kV Taiwan PengHu submarine power cable system (T-P-Cable), the first submarine project of the Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) in this level, will be commercially operated in 2012.
- Skagerrak 4, addition to the 3 DC cables between Norway and Denmark, 700 MW, 140 km, ready 2014
- Petrobras (Brazil) is evaluating the possibility to generate electricity in pre-salt layer Oil Rigs and connect them to national power grid via submarine cables.
- NordBalt, 400 km 700 MW DC submarine cable under the Baltic Sea, connecting Klaipėda, Lithuania and Nybro, Sweden. Operation expected in 2015-2016.
- The British and Icelandic Governments are in "active discussion" to build a cable between the UK and Iceland powered by geothermal energy.
- Norwegian and German operators have agreed to build a cable transmitting up to 1,400 MW between the two countries by 2018.
- British and Norwegian operators (National Grid and Statnett respectively) have agreed to study a cable up to 1,400 MegaWatt operational by 2020 connecting the two countries. Such a cable would be the longest in the world.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed, power and/or cables:
“There never seems to be any difficulty in stretching the laws and the constitution to fit any kind of a political deal, but when it is proposed to make some concession to women they loom up like an unscalable wall.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
