Greenlink is a high-voltage subsea interconnector spanning approximately 190km between Ireland and Great Britain. Regulated by Ofgem and CRU, the asset utilises high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology, which is efficient for long-distance power transmission, and has a nominal capacity equivalent to powering around 380,000 homes.
It plays a critical role in supporting the integration of renewable energy, enhancing system flexibility, and facilitating cross-border electricity flows while strengthening security of supply, improving market efficiency and reinforcing connectivity with the wider European energy market.
Greenlink has been designated as a Project of Common Interest by the European Union, reflecting its importance to regional energy security and a more integrated European power market.
The investment is underpinned by a well-established regulatory framework, providing long-term visibility on revenues and reinforcing the asset’s role as essential infrastructure within both markets.
By addressing evolving supply and demand dynamics across the Irish and UK power markets, Greenlink is positioned at the intersection of the energy transition and infrastructure modernisation, aligning with Mubadala’s strategy of investing in assets linked to global megatrends and partnering with leading platforms.
