By the time of the Stage 2 Consultation in April 2023, Five Estuaries Offshore Wind Farm Ltd had selected and refined the onshore export cable corridor for the Five Estuaries Transmission connection, running from the Sandy Point landfall to National Grid’s proposed East Anglia Connection Node substation near Lawford in Essex. The route, approximately 22 km long and entirely underground, was engineered and optimised using environmental surveys, engineering assessments, avoidance of residential properties, and feedback from the first consultation stage, and allows up to four HVAC export circuits to be installed.
