Submarine Power Cable - Proposed Submarine Power Cables

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.
