Commenting on the publication today (July 7) by National Grid ESO of the Pathway to 2030 Holistic Network Design, RenewableUK's Director of Future Electricity Systems, Barnaby Wharton, said:
"Today's publication of the Holistic Network Design is the first step towards a more co-ordinated approach for designing and developing an electricity network to deliver our offshore wind ambitions. Rather than taking a piecemeal approach to connecting wind farms, by looking instead at the whole picture we can find efficiencies and reduce impacts on communities and the environment. There is still a lot of work to be done, and we're looking forward to working with the ESO and industry to connect more projects faster and provide further solutions to enable cost-effective grid upgrades".
