National Grid Electricity Transmission (jointly promoting Western Link 2 with SP Energy Networks) said it will undertake further non-statutory consultation in 2026 and intends to submit planning proposals to the local planning authority in Gwynedd (Cyngor Gwynedd) for the North Wales onshore works — including a landfall, underground cable route and a new converter station near Pentir — after detailed design and environmental assessment work is complete. The developer described the submissions as part of the pre-application and statutory engagement process for the project’s onshore Welsh consenting.
