● National Grid has awarded two parts of a £59 billion High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) supply chain framework to deliver the required works and equipment needed for key energy projects across the country.

● Contracts have been secured for a five-year period, with the potential to extend for a further three years.

● Ben Wilson, President of National Grid Ventures, said: “National Grid is already the largest operator of subsea power cables in the world, the majority of which we delivered in the last six years.

● Delivering the necessary infrastructure to enable the energy transition will boost the security of supply, drive economic growth, and create thousands of new jobs.
