What is proposed
The key onshore and offshore elements of the Project include: - Offshore high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable. In English waters the cable would be approximately 415 km long (In English and Scottish waters the total cable length would be up to 555 km) - A transition joint bay (TJB) which will enable the connection of the offshore and onshore HVDC underground cables, located onshore and underground near to the proposed cable landfall at Anderby Creek on the Lincolnshire coastline - Underground HVDC cable running approximately 9 km from the proposed landfall at Anderby Creek on the Lincolnshire coastline to a converter station in East Lindsey - One converter station only, located either to the north-east of Bilsby or north-west of Hutton, both in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire - Underground high voltage alternating current (HVAC) cable running up to 3 km to connect the proposed converter station to the proposed Lincolnshire Connection Substation (LCS) (note: the LCS is being proposed as part of NGET’s proposed Grimsby to Walpole Project, which is a separate project, currently being developed).
