The Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2), a 525 kV, 2 GW high voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea transmission cable running from Peterhead in Scotland to Drax in England (United Kingdom), has secured planning consents for all the onshore and offshore elements of the project have been granted by all three local planning authorities, and by both the Marine Management Organisation in England and Marine Scotland, in Scotland. Once complete, EGL2 will run from a new converter station and landfall point at Sandford Bay, Peterhead, under the North Sea, to a landfall point at Fraisthorpe, on the East Yorkshire coast. Once onshore in England, it will run underground to a new converter station next to Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire. The project is developed by a joint venture between National Grid and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks Transmission (SSEN). Construction is projected to start in 2024, aiming for operational status by 2029.
