The EGL2 joint venture signed contracts with Hitachi Energy together with BAM to deliver the two HVDC converter stations required at the Peterhead and Drax ends of the link. Hitachi Energy was contracted to supply the HVDC technology (VSC-based converters) and BAM to provide civil and installation works, forming the converter terminals that will convert DC to AC for connection to the onshore transmission network. The contract signing was presented as a key delivery milestone for the subsea superhighway with expected energisation targeted for 2029.
