Grid connection (TEC)1,020 MW to GB · 1,046 MW from GB — NESO Interconnector Register, 1 September 2026

Two figures, two questions. Nemo Link’s headline rating is 1,000 MW; its grid connection right, which is what the percentages on this page are measured against, is 1,020 MW to GB and 1,046 MW from GB. 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. Nemo Link also publishes a technical rating of 1,012 MW for the cable itself, a third basis again.

A joint venture with the Belgian TSO Elia, and the reason GB and Belgian prices track each other closely at times of high wind in the North Sea.
