The UK's energy regulator, Ofgem, has made a significant move by fast-tracking the approval of a subsea cable from Scotland to England. This decision sets the stage for 2 million homes to be powered with clean wind energy. The approved £2 billion ($2.5 billion) funding for the Eastern Green Link 1 will enable the transmission of 2 gigawatts of electricity between East Lothian in Scotland and County Durham in England. This milestone will significantly contribute to the expansion of clean energy sources and the reduction of carbon emissions in the UK.
