The consortium made up of VINCI Energies, VINCI Construction and HITACHI Energy has been awarded by INELFE (Electrical Interconnection France-Spain), the joint venture bringing together operators of the Spanish (Red Eléctrica) and French (RTE) electricity transmission networks, a contract for the design/construction of two ground stations for the conversion of electrical energy. 

Located in France and Spain, these stations will transform the alternative current of the electrical networks into direct current. They will be connected via a 400 km cable enabling energy exchange between both countries. 

30 people for 3 days! The project teams from VINCI, HITACHI Energy and INELFE are all on deck to ensure the success of the France Spain interconnection project. They met in Ludvika (Sweden) for the first face-to-face project review from September 19 to 21. All united for the success of this major project. 

The Biscay Gulf interconnection is a strategic infrastructure to continue advancing on European energy and climate objectives.
