National Grid has introduced a transformative new approach to the way it works with Britain’s supply chain, designed to support the UK’s clean energy transition.

National Grid Electricity Transmission and SP Energy Networks have reached a major milestone in the development of the Eastern Green Link 4 (EGL4) project, a new subsea electricity ‘superhighway’ by selecting Siemens Energy as preferred bidder for the project’s two high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations. 

National Grid is inviting residents and businesses in Margam to learn more about a vital infrastructure upgrade that will support the transition to Tata Steel’s new electric arc furnace (EAF) at Port Talbot and strengthen the local electricity network.

National Grid has named one of the world's leading cable manufacturers, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., as its preferred bidder to supply and install the subsea cable for Sea Link, a new high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electricity connection between Kent and Suffolk.

National Grid is commencing work to upgrade 30 kilometres of overhead electricity transmission line in North Wales, between Connah’s Quay substation in Flintshire and Bodelwyddan substation in Denbighshire.

Marine surveys will be undertaken close to the shore around Bridlington and Fraisthorpe this summer as part of Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2)
