NeuConnect Interconnector

The NeuConnect Interconnector project aims to establish the first direct energy link between the United Kingdom and Germany, connecting two of Europe's largest energy markets. This ambitious initiative involves laying approximately 725 km of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) land and subsea cables through British, Dutch, and German waters, terminating at new converter stations in both countries. The project is designed to enable up to 1.4 GW of electricity to flow in either direction, sufficient to power 1.5 million homes. Key challenges include managing complex engineering requirements, coordinating multiple stakeholders across different jurisdictions, and ensuring the project meets stringent environmental and regulatory standards.

G&T is providing Contract Administration and Project Management services for the NeuConnect Interconnector and our responsibilities encompass handling the contract administration for the complex Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts related to the converters and cables. We have supported the project from the design phase and is now overseeing the construction phase, ensuring effective coordination among stakeholders and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Upon completion, the NeuConnect Interconnector will significantly enhance energy resilience and sustainability for both the UK and Germany. By facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources, the project is expected to deliver consumer benefits worth £1.7 billion in the UK over 25 years and could lead to a net reduction in carbon emissions of over 13 million tonnes of CO₂ during the same period. G&T's expertise in Contract Administration and Project Management has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of this landmark project, contributing to its progress towards successful delivery.
