-
Equinor is the largest energy supplier to the UK. It is a Norwegian oil/energy company and is involved in developing wind farms off the East Coast of the UK. On the 17 th April 2024 the company was granted a Development Consent Order by the Secretary of State to extend the existing Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon offshore wind farms.
-
These so called “SEP and DEP” extension projects require that new cables be laid to link the wind farms to a new substation near to the existing National Grid Norwich Main Substation at Mangreen.
-
The cabling route proposed will pass through Barford (east end) and close to the east of Wramplingham.
-
At this time, we do not know when work will start nor do we know whether the projects will be done concurrently, digging up once, or sequentially, digging up twice. The Secretary of State has left that open for Equinor to decide.
