Global InterConnection Group, comprising Global InterConnection Group Limited and its subsidiaries, is a platform for the manufacturing, development, operation and ownership of interconnectors and other power transmission assets.
Interconnectors are power cables connecting different countries’ electricity grids, as a means of improving grid efficiency and expediting the transmission of energy internationally from where it is generated to where it is needed. As the world transitions towards a Net Zero future, evergrowing electricity demand and increased dependence on intermittent power sources requires grids that are strong, flexible, and interconnected. The world needs to move power from where it is being generated to where it is needed.
DCAC is a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) incorporated on 29 April 2021 under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended), as a non-cellular company limited by shares.
“We are delighted to have listed Global InterConnection Group on Euronext. Armed with the greater profile and access to capital markets afforded by a listing, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our strategy to build Global InterConnection Group into a world-leading interconnection player. Governments and grid operators are realising that international grid interconnectivity is essential to both energy security and energy transition, and Global InterConnection Group plans to facilitate it through the provision of high voltage cable, capital, and expertise. The team, standing on the shoulders of our expert partners, have overseen the planning, construction and operations of virtually all of the European interconnectors in the last decade.”
Edmund Truell, Executive Chairman at Global InterConnection Group
