Scotland to England power cable link wins full consent

Plans for a £2.1bn subsea 2GW power link between Peterhead in Scotland and Drax in England have gained full onshore and offshore development consent.
The Eastern Green Link 2 project will see the longest high-voltage direct current cable in the UK and is the country’s single largest electricity transmission project ever.
Work can now start on the five-year-long mega project next year. When complete in 2029 it will provide enough electricity to power 2m homes.Substation and converter
