Following European Commission concerns, the operators of the electricity submarine cable linking the United Kingdom and France have agreed to open up access to the infrastructure used for electricity export and import between the two countries. Previously the interconnector was used exclusively for EDF. This is an important step towards a more competitive and integrated electricity market in the European Union and bringing the benefits of intra-EU trade in electricity to business users and ultimately households. |
