> "Securing Britain's energy supply by diversifying from EU interconnectors"
Honestly, the EU27 have their own home-grown grid problems to deal with[0], helping third countries transit power through the EU territories must be right at the bottom of the list!
Austria and Germany had a single electricity price zone ... until October 2018,
one of the reasons blamed for the split was "slow grid expansion"[1].
This is basically my reading of the situation. After reading the article I was certain the comment section here would look like this, but anyway, my take home is ‘technological advances mean it is now easier just to lay a long cable on the sea floor than all of the political maneuvering needed to transit power across multiple countries’
Obviously- that may be wrong, but let’s see, would be cool if it’s true.
