Project update: July 2025

Since the start of 2024, we have been carrying out survey works along the planned cable routes as part of our construction preparations. These surveys are essential for gathering the information needed to plan and deliver the project safely and effectively.

As this work has progressed, our teams have encountered some unforeseen engineering design challenges along sections of the route. To ensure these are thoroughly investigated and resolved, we now expect to begin construction in mid-2026. 

We understand this represents a delay to the project, and we appreciate the continued patience of communities along the route. Please be assured that there will be no disruption to electricity supply at any stage of the project. 

We will continue to share regular updates here on the website and through our e-newsletter as the project moves forward.
