- The rapid growth in renewable energy capacity is driving demand for long-distance transmission cables. These can carry energy ashore from distant, deepwater wind farms, or transfer it between countries. But as the FT’s Rachel Millard explains, analysts believe we could be facing a cable shortage by the second half of this decade, and getting plugged into grids could prove a greater challenge than generating the power itself.

Both US & China have had a lot of curtailment for more than 5 years (minimum). U.S. grid is aged, and
Why not provide power to Spain and France from Morrocco and then use Fench and Spanish renewables to supply England?
Surprised that the issue of copper was not mentioned. Surely this demand will see a surge in copper prices, and supply issues, if all these new cable factories start up.
Why is these resources being exported outside Africa, however not use within the continent. Coraption is the reason, and the people buying the resources "offshore" are profiting.
The key is dramatically increasing efficiency by reducing waste of energy and resources. Eliminating forced car dependency key. Need massive investment in electric rail and bus service plus accessible walking and cycling infrastructure.

It is far easier to send energy via pipelines or ships, as hydrogen or ammonia.

Not without government subsidies. Suits the socialist mindset but renewables as a whole energy approach is economically difficult, adverse to the economically disadvantaged and polluting the environment with non biodegradable materials.
