SSE PLC, National Grid PLC and Iberdrola SA's subsidiary
ScottishPower said Monday that they are partnering to build an
underwater power highway from Scotland to northeast England with a
capacity of up to 4 gigawatts.
The utilities said the multi-billion pound project, called
Eastern Link, will transport renewable power from east Scotland's
offshore wind hub across 440 kilometers down to Selby and Hawthorn
Point in England.
"This project will help transport enough renewable electricity
for around 4.5 million homes across the U.K. and will become part
of the backbone of the U.K.'s energy system," National Grid's U.K.
Executive Director Nicola Shaw said.
The east coast of Scotland is already home to almost 1 gigawatt
of operational offshore wind farms, with a further 4.4 gigawatts in
the pipeline and up to 10 gigawatts predicted, the companies
said.
Construction works are expected to start in 2024.
