Offshore Wind Infrastructure

As the hard work continues in Westminster to put pressure on Ministers, their officials and the likes of National Grid, National GridESO and OFGEM as we look to ensure an Offshore Transmission Network is delivered as swiftly and comprehensively as possible, I was delighted to add my name to a letter from a number of eastern MPs – addressed to the Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change.

Together, we have called for our constituents to have a greater, formal opportunity to submit their preferences about how National Grid infrastructure is delivered – namely whether it goes overland or undersea – in the period before that key OTN becomes a reality.

This very much remains a central campaign for myself – and I am also committed to doing all I can to support local communities affected by Vattenfall UK’s two upcoming substations at Necton so that they receive substantial community benefits in return for them hosting this nationally significant infrastructure.
