On this page you will find updates on project progress and a timeline of upcoming work activities along our onshore and offshore cable route and our converter station works.

At our Peterhead site, enabling works have been progressing through our contractor, Keltbray, and in October the site was handed over to our main works contractors, Hitachi Energy and BAM.

At our Wren Hall site, located in Drax, work has begun with our contractors, Hitachi Energy and BAM to get the site set up for our main construction works.

Surveys and enabling works for our offshore cable and onshore underground cable are being delivered by our main works contractor, Prysmian, with cable construction expected to start in 2027.

The project is now in its construction phase with a full timeline of activity below.

Minimising disruption

Due to the nature of these works, some disruption to local communities is unavoidable. However, we will do everything possible to minimise the impact of our construction works.

We will be getting in touch with impacted communities again closer to when work is beginning.
