A transformative £2bn initiative has been unveiled to transport vast quantities of renewable energy to the North East, marking an important stride in the UK's mission to meet environmental objectives. Ofgem, the energy regulator, has unveiled plans for the installation of approximately 120 miles of cabling, originating from East Lothian in Scotland running all the way to Hawthorn Pit in County Durham.
This major development will channel two gigawatts of wind-generated energy into the North East, largely coursing beneath the North Sea, supplemented by a 12-mile terrestrial network connecting to substations and converter stations at each end.
