My latest article considers the cost, environmental and reliability benefits of internationally connected electricity grids.
All you need to know about electricity grid interconnectors. These giant cables connect electricity grids across neighbouring countries and have benefits for energy security, costs and climate goals, explains @jason-power.bsky.social @unioflimerick.bsky.social
