>not needed
There was a big solar project proposed in Australia's outback to supply Singapore but never got off the ground perhaps advances in glass / dc infrastructure could change the calculations. Same story for Sahara solar supply to Eu.
A lack of need is not the problem here.
In both those scenarios the sun and the consumer are relatively close, with the majority of the line being overland.
Solar Sahara powering Europe makes sense.
Solar Sahara powering the North East does not.
