Two figures, two questions. BritNed’s headline rating is 1,000 MW; its grid connection right, which is what the percentages on this page are measured against, is 1,200 MW each way. A rating describes the cable, a TEC is the capacity registered for its connection to the GB system, and they are not obliged to match. The figure in this page’s search description is the registered one.
The Netherlands link, and the first GB interconnector built as a merchant joint venture rather than by a single TSO. Route and length are the operator's own figures.
