Scotland-England Subsea Power Link Secures Marine License

The Eastern Green Link 3 (EGL3) subsea electricity transmission project between Scotland and England has secured a marine license covering its infrastructure in Scottish waters, marking a key development milestone for the planned power link.

The license covers the installation and operation of subsea cable infrastructure, including nearshore works where the cable will meet land near Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.

EGL3 is a joint venture between SSEN Transmission and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), designed to transport renewable electricity from northern Scotland to homes and businesses across Great Britain.

The project is intended to increase electricity transmission capacity, alleviate network constraints and accommodate additional renewable generation as electricity demand grows.
