The onshore section of the proposed project aims to construct approximately 100 kilometres of underground HVDC cables, as well as three new converter stations, a direct current switching station, and a new substation in the Walpole area.
This project is part of National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade, and aims to connect electricity produced offshore in Scotland with homes in the Midlands and South of England.
