A brand new collaboration heart that can convey collectively round 80 inexperienced power employees contributing to the supply of a sequence of subsea electrical energy transmission hyperlinks between Scotland and England has been formally opened in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Jap Inexperienced Hyperlink (EGL) Collaboration Centre will convey collectively workers from the SSEN Transmission and Nationwide Grid Electrical energy Transmission three way partnership (JV), in addition to the provision chain companions they’ve appointed, to ship the EGL sequence of electrical energy transmission subsea superhighways, beginning with EGL2, whose building started in September.

“EGL2 and EGL3 are two essential initiatives that we’re working to ship at SSEN Transmission as a part of our £20bn ‘Pathway to 2030’ funding programme to assist obtain the power safety and web zero objectives of Scotland and the UK,” mentioned Rob McDonald, SSEN Transmission’s Managing Director.
“Having a devoted workplace area within the centre of Glasgow for the EGL pipeline of subsea initiatives will see the central belt, in addition to the north and north east of Scotland, benefitting economically from the supply of this important new infrastructure.”
Opened by Glasgow North MP, Martin Rhodes, as we speak, November 8, the ability features a Efficiency Centre which makes use of cutting-edge expertise to drive efficiency, a devoted space for provide chain companions to collaborate, and an area the place each transmission operators can come collectively.
“This collaboration centre is Nationwide Grid’s first bricks and mortar presence in Glasgow, and we’re happy to even be growing our presence throughout our different joint ventures in Scotland because of the dimension and scale of our initiatives,” mentioned Carl Trowell, Nationwide Grid Electrical energy Transmission’s President for UK Strategic Infrastructure.
“Nationwide Grid is investing £30bn within the UK over the following 5 years; a transformational step up in clear power infrastructure funding, unprecedented in its scale and ambition. This funding is a stimulus for financial development and can help 55,000 extra UK jobs by the top of the last decade, whereas additionally accelerating the decarbonisation of the power system for the digital, electrified economies of the longer term.”

In accordance with SSEN Transmission, EGL2 and EGL3 would be the greatest electrical energy transmission initiatives ever delivered within the UK and can play a vital function in serving to Scotland and the UK to satisfy power safety and clear energy targets.
4 EGL hyperlinks type a part of deliberate electrical energy grid reinforcements to spice up the aptitude of the present UK transmission community and facilitate elevated flows of deliberate renewable technology within the North to demand facilities to the South, supporting the ambition of enabling 50 GW of offshore wind technology by 2030 and reaching a net-zero economic system by 2050.
