National Grid has launched the second non-statutory consultation on Norwich to Tilbury (formerly known as East Anglia GREEN). We are proposing to build approximately 183 km of transmission infrastructure from Norwich to Tilbury as part of The Great Grid Upgrade.
The consultation will run for eight weeks, closing on 21 August 2023.
We are still at an early stage of developing our proposals for this project. We are asking for your feedback on our preferred draft alignment, which shows potential positions for overhead lines and associated pylons, underground cables, cable sealing end compounds (where overhead lines are joined to underground cables) and connection substations.
Feedback is important to help us as we develop our proposals in more detail.
Consultation events
We are holding a series public events and webinars, which are listed in the tables below.
