Description:
Viking Link is a power
cable connecting the UK and Denmark. It spans 475 miles (765 kilometers) and
runs over both land and the intervening sea. At peak load of 1,400 megawatts,
it lets each country benefit from each other's surplus.

Viking Link creates the longest land and subsed cable
for sharing clean energy.
A cable between the UK and Denmark now effectively
connects the countries` energy supplies.
The single cable runs for 475 miles over both land and
sea between the nations.
And it carries up to 1,400 megawatts pf power at any time.
The project allows the countries to act as batteries
for one another.
They can export energy surpluses back and forth as those
surpluses arise.
It`s an example of how nations can work together to
regulate a renewable energy network.
Given that the countries are separated by the North
Sea, it makes the most of wind power.
Viking Link is the longest high voltage connecting cable
in the world right now.
But It`s an example of the kind of direct link that
could work anywhere in the world.

Questions:
1. What is the purpose of the Viking Link cable
connecting the UK and Denmark in terms of energy sharing?
2. How long is the Viking Link cable and what is its
capacity in terms of power transmission?
3. How does the geographical location of the UK and Denmark,
separated by the North Sea, contribute to the effectiveness of the Viking Link
cable for utilizing wind power?
