Britain-France power link returns to full capacity

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, March 1 (Reuters) - The electricity link between Britain and France returned to full capacity on Wednesday, National Grid (LSE: NG.L - news) said in a market notice.

Flows though the 2,000 megawatt (MW) Interconnexion France-Angleterre (IFA) link had been reduced since last November after 4 of its 8 cables were severed in a storm.

IFA is owned by Britain's National Grid and French grid operator RTE.
