ElecLink, Electrical interconnector in Channel Tunnel, France and United Kingdom.
ElecLink consists of a 51-kilometer direct current cable system running through the Channel Tunnel between converter stations at Peuplingues and Folkestone.
The foundation stone placement at Folkestone converter station in February 2017 marked the beginning of construction for this cross-channel power connection.
This electrical infrastructure embodies the principles of European energy cooperation through its integration of French and British power networks.
The interconnector enables electricity transmission of 1000 megawatts between France and the United Kingdom through the existing Channel Tunnel infrastructure.
A specialized 51-meter-long work train was manufactured specifically to install the high-voltage direct current cables inside the Channel Tunnel.
