The answer could very well  be these — interconnectors.

答案很可能是这些——互连器。

Already, more than a dozen interconnectors have been fully commissioned or are under  construction around the North Sea alone.

仅在北海附近，已有十几条互连线路已完全投入使用或正在建设中。

Interconnectors give access to a wider pool of  energy sources, meaning more competition and, in theory, lower prices.

互连器可以访问更广泛的能源资源，这意味着更多的竞争，并且在理论上可以降低价格。

Well, it's now this really big interconnector that's bigger than even the biggest  nuclear power station that we have on the system.

好吧，现在是这个非常大的互连器，它甚至比我们系统上最大的核电站还要大。

The key thing about interconnectors  is they're so big they're actually a risk to the stability of the  system when they fall over.

互连器的关键在于它们太大了，当它们倒塌时实际上会对系统的稳定性构成威胁。

Unlike a gas pipe, which only flows in one  direction, interconnectors are a two-way street, and can distribute energy generated  using completely different methods.

与仅沿一个方向流动的煤气管道不同，互连器是一条双向街道，可以使用完全不同的方法分配产生的能量。

Many of Europe's interconnector projects  are built like this but not all of them, and the reason is pretty obvious  when you look at this map.

欧洲的许多互连项目都是这样建造的，但不是全部，当您查看这张地图时，原因就很明显了。

Right now, it's the world's largest subsea  interconnector, but not for much longer.

现在，它是世界上最大的海底互连器，但不会持续太久。

That small matter of the Pyrenees  between Spain and France meant the two countries had to dig over  60km of tunnels - but the new interconnector doubled the amount  of electricity they can exchange.

西班牙和法国之间的比利牛斯山脉这个小问题意味着两国不得不挖掘超过 60 公里的隧道 - 但新的互连器使它们可以交换的电量增加了一倍。
