Powering Scotland Towards Net Zero

Powering Scotland Towards Net Zero
Eastern Link Project
We'd like your views
Scotland is a world leader in the fight against climate change. Our country has a target of Net Zero carbon emissions by 2045, with the UK committed to Net Zero by 2050. To help meet those targets, SP Energy Networks is consulting on a vital new energy link between Scotland and England, known as the Eastern Link Project
To enable us to deliver this crucial project, we need to build a new substation and converter station and lay underground cables and marine cables at our preferred locations in East Lothian. We would like to hear your views on the preferred options to help us develop our plans. We will then carry out an environmental impact assessment, consult with you again and submit planning applications to East Lothian Council.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions we are unable to hold public exhibitions to outline our plans, but we will be holding a series of online events to explain our proposals and answer any questions you may have.
Our consultation events will be held on the following dates:
* Tuesday 10th August 2021 (8am-12 noon) Thursday 12th August 2021 (4pm -8pm)

* Thursday 19th August 2021 (4pm - 8pm)

* Friday 20th August 2021 (8am -12 noon)

You can also meet the team on 24th August (6 - 8pm) and 26th August 2021 (8 -10am).
