RPS Energy completed a Cable Route Alternatives Study for the Lincs, Race Bank and Docking Shoal offshore wind farms on 22 May 2007, evaluating 11 onshore and offshore route options and grid connection points. The study, based on data from early 2006, compared distances, costs, grid capacity and installation complexity, and led to the selection of Option 5: a shared export cable route through The Wash to National Grid’s Walpole substation, which underpins the subsequent Lincs offshore transmission link configuration.
