Onshore cabling
- The cable route will run approximately 38km from the landfall site at Horseshoe Point to the onshore substation at North Killingholme
- The cable will be installed underground to minimise disturbance to local communities and traffic disruption
- A number of investigations have been undertaken by DONG Energy, including ecological surveys, engineering appraisals and environmental studies which helped inform the basis of the chosen cable route. Feedback from key stakeholders and members of the local communities also assisted the process
- Once installed, the onshore cable will transmit the electricity generated by the offshore wind farm to the onshore substation and then onto the electricity grid.
