Within five years, the world's longest undersea cable will link Devon to a vast territory of solar panels in the Sahara Desert, supplying electricity directly into Britain's grid at a fraction of today's power prices.
A second cable will land two years later in 2029. Together they will provide 3.6 gigawatts of constant baseload power, equivalent to two Hinkley-sized nuclear reactors. The difference is that we will be able to afford it. That, at least, is the plan.

The L16 billion Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project -- chaired by former Tesco chief Sir Dave Lewis -- has an elegant feature. It combines wind and solar in perfect geographic circumstances to make near-constant power for 20 hours a day.
Trade winds on the coast of North Africa raise the average "capacity factor" of onshore wind turbines to 54%. A desert convection effect creates a regular wind current in the early evenings and smooths the handover from solar to wind.
"It picks up every afternoon just as the sun is setting, said Simon Morrish, the project’s chief executive. This overcomes the curse of intermittency, with lithium batteries in the desert to cover the remaining gaps. ...
