About EGL2
What we propose to build
There are three main sections to the construction of EGL2:
Northern point of connection | In Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, we will build a new onshore converter station and install underground cabling from the converter station to landfall at Sandford Bay |
Marine cable route | Subsea cabling will be installed from Sandford Bay, through Scottish and English waters to landfall at Wilsthorpe, England |
Southern point of connection | Onshore underground cable will be installed from landfall in Wilsthorpe to a new onshore converter station built in Drax, England |
The EGL2 HVDC cable connection from Scotland to England consists of 436km of submarine cable and 69km of onshore cable.
For more information on converter stations and cables, including diagrams, maps and images, please view the public consultation materials in the Document library.
