Singapore is building a similar project, a large solar array in Australia connected by undersea cable[0]. I think it makes a lot more sense for a city state like Singapore, with very limited space to build their own power infrastructure. But for a country like the UK, just the energy security risk alone seems dangerous, especially after what we have seen with the Russian gas pipelines. These cables can easily be attacked, any country with a semi-competent navy could probably pull it off covertly, which would make attribution difficult. Although I guess the US could have been a little more covert about their efforts[1].
