With continuous light connecting Europe multinational connecting cable project ~ ~ the British ─ Belgium
Around the world, getting rid of fossil fuels process is accelerated.Especially with European environmental protection consciousness is higher, the European countries are promoting wind power, hydropower, solar, and biomass and other renewable energy facilities construction.
In countries across Europe, hope each other transmission output power is not stable renewable energy, to realize the adjustment of the balance between supply and demand and efficient utilization, this is the idea "super power".Based on this idea, in Europe already have many multinational began operating connecting cable.
Although Britain on a global scale is among the first countries to liberalise their power, but most of its energy always depends on its fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.But, with the production of fossil fuels to reduce, the British into energy importer, at the same time, the factors of global fuel prices led to the rise in electricity.In addition, the eu wants before 2020, the realization of "a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than in 1990", "the eu's energy use by 20% using renewable energy" idea, such as the safety of the people are focused on is not dependent on fossil fuels and low-cost power supply.
Belgium for the British market, on the other hand, the renewable energy gave a great supply of new object.Britain wants to adopt Belgium output of renewable energy, cut CO2Emissions, at the same time, achieve stability and low-cost power supply in the UK.This is the introduction to Britain - the purpose of the Belgian multinational connecting cable project.
From sea to land.From one country to another country.Power grid interweave of Europe
Total length of 141.5 km.
Large projects to start
Take the express train from London tram takes 1 hour or so can reach, is located in the southeast of the island of Great Britain Kent Brahms gheit.Eastward across the sea from here, it is the Belgian zeebrugge this port city.The connection between the two cities transmission cable laying project is under way now.
The owner unit is Nemo Link company.The company is the National Grid company (UK) and power Grid enterprise ELIA (Belgium) joint venture company, the establishment of its purpose is to be completed in 2019 in Britain - Belgium the connection between the cable laying work, will run at least 25 years.Transmission cables will be laid by the company's business foundation.
Britain - the Belgian multinational connecting cable length of 141.5 km.It is a large submarine part alone for up to 130 km projects.Of transmission system of the design, manufacture, cable construction, repair and maintenance of general contracting is sumitomo electric industrial co., LTD (hereinafter referred to as the "sumitomo electric") and, j-power Systems (hereinafter referred to as "the JPS) sumitomo electric group.This is the first time outside Europe enterprise contracts for European multinational connecting cable project.
Britain - the Belgian multinational connecting cable project is for the future of the two countries project, which has a far-reaching influence on energy policy, so to speak, the project developed is given priority to with renewable energy power interaction of sustainable development.
Aiming at completion in 2019, the bottom of the sea laid construction is about to begin.In this report we will overcome the various obstacles, managed to undertake the project and its significance.
Britain - the Belgian multinational connecting cable project is mainly responsible for enterprise and functions

Everything from scratch
"At this rate, if a project can undertake, what should I do?"In 2011, London.At that time, the ancient bridge of jung is insist on fighting a losing battle.In construction of offshore wind power and other renewable energy facilities continuously push for European power from sea to land and from one country to another country is an increasing demand for power transmission cable, sumitomo electric group decided to enter the European market.Was appointed responsible for the market development is the ancient bridge.
But the power cable in the market in Europe, sumitomo electric group awareness and actual performance is almost equal to zero.Although he and technology and the construction of relevant personnel every month to go to Europe to visit the local power grid companies, but they couldn't even see the face of the head, eat a lot of face.Although is groping nature of business activities, but they know that Europe is indeed a certain market.At the same time, sumitomo electric group also has other vendors have no high voltage dc transmission cable technology.These two points is the psychological pillar of the ancient bridge.In anxious for failed to undertake projects at the same time, he said: "I believe there must be breakthrough".
To get at the end of 2011, the ancient bridge of the UK - the Belgian multinational connecting cable project bidding information.Through the analysis of the content of the project, in which he found the possibility of using sumitomo electric group of the dc cable.Ancient bridge team frequently visit customers, with a comprehensive introduction to sumitomo electric group technology, the actual performance, economic strength and the enterprise idea, etc.However, he has always had received no solicit information."Our company does not have any actual performance in the European market.As a cable manufacturer to gain trust, let customers to actually travel to Japan, let they contact with Japanese culture, let them to visit the manufacturing site directly, let them understand Japan and our company's situation, this is the most important ", ancient bridge based on the idea, decided to invite customers to participate in cable inspection tour of the factory.In business, technology, and department of construction under the efforts of the company as a whole, they gradually build trust with customers.Finally, they ushered in the solicit information.2012年，在通过投标资格审查之后，他们和其它竞争厂商站在了相同的起跑线。他们终于迎来了投标作业。
