National Grid plans to invest up to GBP 400 million to extend the operating life of the Interconnexion France-Angleterre, or IFA, electricity link between Britain and France until at least 2050. The company announced the plan on Thursday, October 29, according to Reuters.

Existing link receives longer horizon

The programme targets the operating life of an established electricity connection rather than the construction of a new route. That gives National Grid a longer planning horizon for infrastructure supporting power flows between Britain and France.

The announcement adds a multi-year capital commitment to the group's network activities. For investors, the immediate financial effect will depend on the timing of spending and the execution of the upgrade. The plan itself does not establish a new earnings forecast.
