Our approved plans include: 

Kent 

• a landfall point on the Kent coast at Pegwell Bay
• a transition joint bay approximately 800 m inland, to connect our subsea and onshore high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables
• approximately 1.7 km of HVDC cable from the transition joint bay to the converter station
• a new converter station near Minster 
• a new substation near Minster, adjacent to the new converter station 
• removing 2.2 km of existing overhead line, and constructing 3.5 km of new overhead line, to connect the new substation to the wider transmission network.

Offshore

• 122 km of subsea HVDC cable between Kent and Suffolk.

Suffolk 

• a landfall point on the Suffolk coast, north of Aldeburgh
• a transition joint bay, approximately 1 km inland, to connect our subsea and onshore high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables
• approximately 10 km of HVDC cable from the transition joint bay to the new converter station 
• a new converter station near Saxmundham 
• approximately 1.9 km of high voltage alternating current (HVAC) cable from the converter station to the new Kiln Lane substation near Friston. 

Separately to Sea Link, we are building the new Kiln Lane substation and connecting it to the existing overhead lines in Suffolk. These works were consented under Scottish Power Renewables' DCOs for East Anglia ONE North and East Anglia TWO.
