The Netherlands and the UK have announced plans for a new power line connecting the two countries with offshore wind farms in the North Sea to boost energy security and promote renewable energy.

The power line, dubbed 'Lion Link', is the second of its kind, according to the British government, and will produce enough energy to power more homes than Birmingham and Manchester combined.

According to the Dutch government, ‘Lion Link’ will be an important step in supporting decarbonisation.
