National Grid noted that while routine maintenance of the HVDC subsea cables is not anticipated, operational phase remedial works may be required if issues are identified. Potential major maintenance activities include cable repair operations, reburial, remedial protection or maintenance and reinstatement of external cable protection features. Such interventions would be triggered by inspection findings or third‑party damage and would be carried out during the operational life of EGL3 after it enters service (indicatively from late 2033).
