Tarchon

The Tarchon Interconnector Project is proposed to create a direct power link between Essex in Great Britain, and a landing site at Niederlangen, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It will connect the two countries’ energy markets, increasing the security and reliability of their electrical systems in addition to facilitating the integration of increasing quantities of renewable energy sources. The HVDC interconnector will be a combination of land and subsea cables approximately 750km in length and will allow 1.4GW of electricity to move in either direction.

Tarchon is being developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), a global leader in renewable energy investments. CIP manages 12 funds and has to date raised approximately EUR 31 billion for investments in energy and associated infrastructure from more than 180 international institutional investors.

Volta Partners has a minority ownership stake in Tarchon Energy Limited. The team has experience developing transmission assets and interconnectors, including the 1.4GW NeuConnect interconnector between Great Britain and Germany.
