Positiv energibyte mellom land

IFA 2 is a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) submarine line project that connects France and Great Britain. Initiated by the French Transmission System Operator (RTE) and its British counterpart National Grid, the project aims to improve electricity exchange capacities and overall network stability. This interconnection was developed in response to the rising share of renewable energies in the energy mix of both countries.

Omexom og VINCI i samarbeid

Since 2018, Omexom has been responsible for the electrotechnical work of the transformer station in Calvados, executing this as a turnkey project for ABB. The civil engineering component, including the design, construction, and assembly of the conversion process, was handled by VINCI Construction. The work involved around 100 VINCI Group employees, leveraging Building Information Management (BIM) solutions to enhance project efficiency and agility.

Effektiv kraftoverføring til 500k hjem

The submarine line, set to operate at ±320 kV DC, will have the capacity to transfer nearly one gigawatt of power between France and Great Britain, enough to power approximately 500,000 homes continuously. The project continued safely and efficiently despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, with all necessary health measures implemented to protect the workforce.
