By July 2025, National Grid Ventures stated that environmental and technical surveys for the Nautilus offshore hybrid interconnector would begin from autumn 2025. The surveys are intended to support detailed site assessments and inform the design of the project around the proposed Isle of Grain connection point in Kent. NGV indicated that survey activity would use both non-intrusive walkover methods and intrusive ground investigation techniques along the proposed converter station site, landfall location and route corridor.
