National Grid Electricity Transmission and SSEN Transmission indicated that major construction for the Eastern Green Link 3 programme — including offshore subsea works associated with the HVDC cable installation — is proposed to start in 2029, subject to statutory consenting (planning and marine licences) and procurement outcomes. The developers have targeted a full operational date in the early 2030s, making 2029 the anticipated mobilisation and commencement window for offshore cable installation and associated marine works if approvals proceed on schedule.
