Grid Offer Accepted

By late 2024, Berwick Bank had secured Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) contracts with the National Energy System Operator (NESO) covering its offshore transmission connections. These agreements provide 1,150 MW TEC at the Berwick Bank A 275/66 kV offshore substation (effective from October 2028) and a further 1,150 MW at the Berwick Bank B 275/66 kV offshore substation (effective from October 2029), enabling at least 2.3 GW of export by 2029. A further TEC contract for 1.8 GW at the Blyth 400 kV substation (the Blyth/Cambois connection), effective from November 2029, underpins the HVDC export route to Cambois, together forming the core grid access arrangements for the Berwick Bank offshore transmission infrastructure.
