The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project is a cross-border renewable energy project that aims to connect Morocco’s abundant solar and wind resources to the UK’s energy grid. The project will consist of two HVDC subsea cables, each carrying 5 GW of power. The cables will run from Morocco to the UK, with landfalls in Tiznit, Morocco, and Devon, England. The distance between the landfalls will be approximately 3,800 km.
