National Grid could have done more to prevent delays to its Viking Link interconnector project linking the UK’s energy supply with Denmark, according to Ofgem.

That is despite construction of the 1,400MW electricity interconnector still taking place and the project’s developers estimating an earliest operational start date of January 2024.
