The proposed project aims to construct approximately 183 kilometres of transmission infrastructure as part of The Great Grid Upgrade.
The East Anglia Green Energy Enablement project is being developed by National Grid to reinforce the high voltage power network in East Anglia between the existing substations at Norwich Main in Norfolk, Bramford in Suffolk and Tilbury in Essex.
The project will also connect new offshore wind generation to the grid.
Proposals include building approximately 184 km of new electricity transmission reinforcement between Norwich and Tilbury. This will be made up mostly of overhead line and pylons, along with some underground cables and a new 400 kV substation.
