Connecting the UK to power stations in other countries could help bring down energy bills, meet our decarbonisation targets, save consumers as much as £1bn a year, and allow access to zero-carbon electricity. The report calls for overseas generators to be allowed to compete for government subsidy in the new capacity market and endorses ways to ensure that revenue supports development of new interconnector links.
