SSE enlist ABB for 1.2GW subsea link

Under SSE’s contract, ABB will design, engineer, supply and commission an HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system running between converter stations at Spittal in central Caithness and Blackhillock, near Keith, in Moray.

The new subsea link, which will feature over 100 miles of underground and subsea cable, is needed to transmit a large volume of electricity from renewable sources in the north of Scotland.

Construction work is expected to be completed in 2018. It is part of a transformational programme of investment in electricity transmission infrastructure to support the transition to lower carbon electricity generation, increasing security of supply and economic growth.

“It is one of several actions SSE is taking to make a difference including being the first FTSE 100 company to be awarded the Fair Tax Mark.” says Alistair Phillips-Davies, Chief Executive of SSE.
