Abstract
Iceland has an abundance of not yet utilised hydroelectric and geothermal power while there are potential markets in the UK and continental Europe for electric power. The authors present the results of investigations which show that power transmission by submarine cable to these markets is technically sound and that renewable power from Iceland can be transmitted and offered at prices which are firmly competitive even against gas generated power, the most economic low polluting source in the UK today. The resulting proposal for a 550 MW submarine cable link is also addressed
