National Grid expects Sea Link to reach full commercial operation (2 GW capacity) in 2030, subject to development consent and completion of construction and commissioning. Ofgem’s decision to grant Early Construction Funding to NGET and NESO’s Clean Power 2030 analysis underpin a delivery ambition to have the reinforcement operating by 2030 to reduce network constraints and avoid significant consumer constraint costs. Full commercial operation will follow successful testing and system integration with the GB transmission network.
