Unknown. ABB has won orders worth over $300 million to supply breakthrough technologies for the world's first 1,100 kilovolt (kV) ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission link. [1] For an 8 GW 40 km link laid under the English Channel, the cost was ~£750M. An April 2010 announcement for a 2,000 MW, 64 km line between Spain and France is estimated at €700 million. This includes the cost of a tunnel through the Pyrenees. I'd guess ABB's contract was equipment only and that installing 3000km of power line would have been the majority of the costs based on the Spanish/English/French pricing.
