General – Interconnector
Prysmian has signed a contract for the delivery of the Eastern Green Link 4 (EGL4) electrical cable interconnector project with GB transmission owners, SP Energy Networks’ transmission business and National Grid Electricity Transmission.
Prysmian was selected as the preferred bidder for the project in September 2025.
The contract is worth over €2.3 billion and will now enter Prysmian’s backlog of projects.
Eastern Green Link 4 is a new high voltage direct current (HVDC) electrical link that will connect Fife in Scotland with Norfolk in England. It will be able to transmit up to 2GW of clean renewable energy – enough to power around 2 million homes, and is one of five similar projects being developed that will significantly increase the capacity of the electricity network between Scotland and England.
