National Grid's domestic transmission system covering England and Wales is linked by an
interconnector to the transmission system of France. Although there is sufficient generation in
the British transmission system (which includes the Scottish transmission network operated under
licence by the Scottish transmission owners) to meet demand, by linking to another country's
transmission system, National Grid can facilitate competition in the wholesale electricity market
covering England, Scotland and Wales.
National Grid built the BritNed interconnector between the UK and the Netherlands. This is a
joint venture with Dutch TSO TenneT and was completed in 2011.
