Long-distance energy interconnectors are needed for a low-carbon future, but face significant political, economic, and legal hurdles, especially in developing countries. Key financing models include integrated grids, merchant investments (based on price arbitrage), and independent power transmission (IPT) projects with long-term government contracts, each with their own challenges and regulatory considerations.
