About Xlinks
Xlinks exists to capture the power of nature to generate a near-constant, low-cost energy supply and connect it to the point of consumption in real-time. Xlinks' "first of a kind" project, the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project, will provide low-cost, clean power to over 7 million British homes from the end of the decade. Once complete, the project will be capable of supplying 8% of Great Britain's electricity needs.
Solar panels and wind turbines will generate 10.5GW of zero carbon electricity to deliver 3.6GW of reliable energy for an average of 20+ hours a day, complimented by an onsite 20GWh/5GW battery facility. The new electricity generation and battery storage facilities will be located in Morocco's renewable energy-rich region of Guelmim Oued Noun and will be connected exclusively to Great Britain via 3,800km HVDC sub-sea cables.
The project will provide a dedicated, near-constant source of flexible and predictable clean energy for Britain, designed to complement the renewable energy already generated across the UK.
