A SECONDARY grid connection will be needed for an offshore wind farm.
SSE Renewables had already secured a grid connection at Branxton, near Torness, for the Berwick Bank Wind Farm.
Now, following a holistic network design review of the British electricity network by National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO), a secondary grid connection will be created at Blyth in Northumberland.
Last month, it was confirmed that the size of the proposed offshore wind farm would be reduced by about 20 per cent – just 12 months after its size had already been reduced by 10 per cent.
Despite the most recent change in size – down from 1,313.89 sq km to 1,010.23 sq km – the maximum number of turbines remains at 307.
The wind farm would be about 40 kilometres off the county coastline and not visible from the shore. https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/20591598.new-connection-berwick-bank-wind-farm/?fbclid=IwAR33Quo-ZeuqEtXs5aBOGURF2ZpqANTmOJh4yFsPjp0VUhHQTh3i_QbxEZo
