It seems to have been talked about for ages but the UK-Norway interconnector is a step closer to existence with the letting of contracts to 3 infrastructure contractors.
The link is promoted as a means for Norway to spill excess renewable generation to the UK while providing increased security of supply to Norway. This has to be the right way to look at this project. I have heard some suggest that there is a major boost for UK security of supply as well, but you only have to think about the likely conditions at both ends at times when there is a squeeze on UK supply to realise that this is just wishful thinking.
