Transatlantic cable between America, Europe to boost energy transition to renewables
SMRTR summary
A new study suggests linking European and North American electricity grids via a transatlantic power cable could lead to a more efficient renewable energy transition. The connection would allow for exchange of energy flows between two major continental grids, optimizing grid resilience and improving market efficiency. Key benefits include smoothing out demand peaks and renewable generation variability across time zones. The paper notes this interconnection could disrupt existing energy markets and potentially grant Québec access to higher-priced European markets.
