The Biscay Gulf electrical Interconnection consists of the construction of a 2 000 MW link. This link is composed of 2 (two) circuits rated 1 000 MW each for DC operating voltage of 400 kV, comprised of 4 power cables, 4 converter station terminals located close to 400 kV Cubnezais substation (France) and Gatica substation (Spain). The length of the route is estimated to be approx. 375 km long starting in Spanish Pais Vasco region (near Bilbao), with underground cable of about 15 km, a submarine section around 280 km long, and an underground cable on the French side of about 80 km long to an ending point in Nouvelle Aquitaine (Gironde department, near Bordeaux).
The “Biscay Gulf Electrical Interconnection FR-ES” is a joint project developed by INELFE on behalf of Réseau Transport d’Electricité (RTE) and Red Electica de Espagna (REE) respectively the transmission system operators in France and Spain.
The project is supported by the European Union’s Connecting Europe facility (CEF).
