Establishing an offshore grid to connect the electricity networks of Europe will be a key factor in maximising the efficiency of sustainable energy production and the balancing of supply and demand. This could ultimately be one of the single largest contributory factors to Europe achieving its carbon emission reduction targets and realising secure energy supplies into the future.
