EXCLUSIVE | US transmission developer Anbaric is pressing ahead with its proposal to build a large subsea grid in the northeastern US, putting it in conflict with offshore wind developers who would prefer to build their own transmission lines, Recharge has learned.

Privately owned Anbaric, which has built several of the only large high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission projects that exist today in the eastern US, first proposed an offshore grid south of Massachusetts earlier this decade – but the impetus for such a project has grown with the emergence of the US offshore wind market.
