Applications are now being accepted for local community benefit funds for Yorkshire GREEN, Eastern Green Link 1 (EGL1) and Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2) projects.
Our plans, which were approved by the Government in September 2024, will involve constructing around 18 km of new overhead line and around 11 km of underground cable.
National Grid’s principal contractor, Balfour Beatty, has established the main project compound in Assington, CO10 5LX with the access point from the adopted highway provided off the A134.
To ensure safe access to and from the compound and to maintain road safety for local traffic, a temporary speed limit reduction will be implemented along a section of the A134 either side of the main construction compound.
Enabling works

They are a key link in the food chain, act as a natural water filter to sustain water quality, and their reefs provide habitat for marine life. Oysters are also a key part of the history and even identity of New York City- a food source that has historically united all New Yorkers, from the Lower East Side to Fifth Avenue, and historically the Lenape indigenous people and the original Dutch and English settlers. Unfortunately, historical pollution and overharvesting have diminished populations of these aquatic creatures, impacting the water quality of Long Island's harbors and bays.
Across England and Wales, large-scale generation and demand projects must connect to the electricity transmission network via a substation. When existing substations can’t be extended, don’t have spare capacity, or are reaching the end of their asset life, a new substation may be required.
