National Grid IFA2 Presents Revised Plans for UK-French Interconnector

National Grid IFA2 Ltd held a second series of consultation events this month, showcasing revised plans for an electricity interconnector between Hampshire in England and Normandy in France. 

People were able to see updated plans for the proposed high voltage electricity link and give feedback.

Made up of subsea cables running between the two countries, the interconnector would be joined to a converter station at both sides.

Over 400 people attended National Grid IFA2 Ltd’s first round of public consultations on its developing plans for a converter station at Daedalus Airfield and associated cable routes. Since then the IFA2 team has considered the feedback it got, met local stakeholders and revised its plans.

The developers will now review and consider the feedback before submitting an outline planning application to Fareham Borough Council later this year.
