Anglo-American joint venture Hecate Independent Power Limited (HIP) has launched its HIP Atlantic Project for installing 10,000 MW of fixed and floating wind turbines in the North Atlantic connected to the UK grid.

The long-length, high-capacity, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission cables which will connect the wind farms to the UK grid are to be manufactured in the United Kingdom at a GBP 200 million bespoke power cable plant to be built at a port in the northeast of England, HIP said

The total project cost is estimated at GBP 21 billion (USD 30 billion)

HIP has lodged four connection applications with National Grid Company for an initial 4,000 MW of grid connections to the United Kingdom’s 400 kV electricity transmission system across four connection sites.

The UK Government’s direct investments in fusion energy over the past decade has helped boost the economy by £1.4 billion.

That’s according to a new study by London Economics and published by BEIS, which reveals the investment of £346.7 million has also supported an average of 4,000 jobs every year.

The study looked at the financial and economic impacts of public investments in the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) fusion research from 2009 and 2019 and found that for every £1 invested in UKAEA, around £4 is generated in return.

Trials of a hydrogen-powered train are underway in the U.K. with an initial journey successfully completed between the locations of Long Marston and Evesham in the West Midlands region of England.

The HydroFLEX train — which has been developed by a team from the University of Birmingham and Porterbrook, a rolling stock firm — uses a fuel-cell which combines hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, heat and water.
