Description
In this episode, we discuss one of the most ambitious projects the world has ever seen. Harnessing the power of the Moroccan sun and transporting the subsequent electricity 3800 kilometers to Great Britain, Xlinks is building an interconnector project whose sheer size will eclipse anything else of its ilk. Project Director Richard Hardy joins Quentin to discuss:
- How interconnectors work.
- The technical challenges involved in building a project of this size.
- Getting multiple governments and countries on board.
- Why this project is only the beginning.
- And, of course, where Xlinks fits into all of this.
