East Anglia Green
East Anglia Green Enablement Project (East Anglia GREEN) is a proposal by National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) to build a new high voltage network reinforcement between Norwich, Bramford and Tilbury. The project is required to reinforce the existing network in East Anglia between the existing substations in those locations, in addition to providing the potential for new offshore wind generation connections.
As the project is currently designed, no network reinforcements works are proposed within East Suffolk. NGET has stated that an alternative offshore option for East Anglia GREEN would likely involve new works to the network in this district, this option has however been discounted.
More information about East Anglia Green is available from the National Grid website.
