DELAYED +11mo (Apr 2026): The official Inch Cape construction programme (accessed April 2026) shows the onshore substation listed as complete in 2026, and the construction overview states that the 2026 focus is on commissioning and finalising works at SP Energy Networks’ Cockenzie site for grid connection. This implies the substation was not complete/commissioned by 1 January 2026, so the milestone is shifted to late 2026 in line with the latest programme. --- Project construction updates and the 2025 newsletter state that the new onshore transmission substation being built by Siemens Energy on the former Cockenzie Power Station site is scheduled for completion in 2026, when it will serve as the onshore grid connection point for power exported from the offshore substation via the 220 kV export cables.
