Marine licence pre-application event

We are holding a statutory pre-application consultation event for the marine element of our proposed Eastern Green Link 3 project in Scottish waters. The pre-application process is undertaken in advance of our Marine Licence application to the Marine Directorate. During this consultation event, you will be able to meet the project team and view information on our proposal to install a 580km subsea high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable between landfalls at Sandford Bay in Peterhead and the Lincolnshire coast.

The event will be held at the following location:

 Date:   Thursday 22 May 2025

Time:   3pm - 7pm

Venue: Peterhead Football Club, Balmoor Stadium, Balmoor Terrace, Peterhead, AB42 1EQ

Non-statutory land cable information sharing

During the event, we will also share information on the preferred alignment of the Scottish land cable element of this project. Land cables are classed as Permitted Development and do not form part of the marine pre-application consultation process, and are shared for information only.

The feedback period is open until 6 July 2025 and you can submit your feedback either on the project webpage, by writing to your Community Liaison Manager Gillian Doig at SSEN Transmission, 200 Dunkeld Road, Perth, PH1 3GH or by e-mailing gillian.doig@sse.com.
