The Viking Link project is a collaboration between the UK's National Grid and the Danish company Energinet, designed and installed by the Italian contractor Prysmian, Yahoo reported on October 7th. Prysmian manufactures the cables at its factory in Arco Felice, near Naples, and lays them using the Cable Enterprise and Leonardo da Vinci vessels. The system is designed to increase access to renewable and sustainable energy sources for more than 1.4 million households.

The Viking Link cable, approximately 765 km long, will allow for the exchange of electricity between the UK and Denmark. Once operational, the cable will help to use renewable energy more efficiently, access sustainable electricity production, and improve electricity supply security. The project will bring socio-economic benefits to both countries. The cable connects the Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire, England, with the Revsing substation in southern Jutland, Denmark. The entire line has a capacity of 1,400 megawatts (MW).

The transition from polluting energy sources to clean, renewable energy is crucial in the fight against global warming. Viking Link is expected to become operational later this year.

"This is a major milestone confirming Prysmian's reliability in handling complex projects," said Hakan Ozmen, executive vice president of projects at Prysmian. "We are committed to supporting countries in achieving sustainability goals, helping the UK and Denmark significantly reduce their carbon emissions."
