<p>The three main transmission companies in Great Britain, National Grid, Scottish
Power and SSE announced on 16th November that they are together taking forward work
on the Eastern HDVC link, which will connect Peterhead, Aberdeenshire and Drax, North
Yorkshire. Investment in network projects like the Eastern HVDC link project is key
to supporting the Government’s 10-point plan to drive a Green Industrial Revolution
in the UK, as part of the energy system transformation needed to integrate clean technologies
such as offshore wind, electric vehicles and electric heat pumps.</p><p> </p><p>Delivery
of the Easter link is a matter for the companies concerned, who are now proceeding
with the planning and consultation phases of the project. I understand from National
Grid that the link is scheduled for completion in 2027.</p>
