The company planning the world’s longest subsea power cable between the UK and Morocco says the project needs political support to become a reality.
Under the proposal, the Xlinks First Ltd. project would spur as much as £24 billion ($29.9 billion) of investment, with about £5 billion of that in the UK. The plea to unlock that spending comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves try to revive the British economy and deliver growth.
