Mapped: the £150bn megaproject that aims to protect Britain from energy shocks

Britain is launching a massive £150 billion project to safeguard its energy supply and meet climate targets. This megaproject involves building thousands of miles of new power lines, pylons, subsea cables, and converter stations to connect wind and solar farms to the grid. The aim is to ensure energy security, but the short-term cost will be higher bills for consumers.

Why it matters

The UK's energy security project will lead to short-term bill increases, but may improve long-term energy stability. This could impact investor sentiment and energy prices.
