Metoc has been contracted by Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Limited (SHETL), part of the Scottish and Southern group, to assist with the delivery of the HVDC subsea electricity interconnector between the Western Isles and the Scottish mainland.
Metoc will assist SHETL with technical auditing and supervision of both
the cable manufacturer’s and installation contractor’s work and liaison
with other users of the marine environment. The planned interconnector
will serve to convey renewable energy generated on Lewis and Harris to
the rest of the UK grid, as part of a series of planned improvements.
