Danish renewables developer Orsted is to hold three public meetings in January and February to provide more details about the onshore cable route for the 1400MW Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm located off the east coast of England.
The wires are planned to run 30km from landfall at Horseshoe Point in Lincolnshire to a substation at North Killingholme that will connect to main grid.
VolkerInfra has been contracted to carry out the work, which is expected to start in March, Orsted said.
The first meeting will be at South Killingholme community centre on 30 January, followed by the second at Waltham Windmill golf club on 4 February and the final event the next day at Tetney golf club.
All three events will run from 12.30pm to 6.30pm.
Hornsea 1 and 2 project director Duncan Clark said: “We’ve been building offshore wind farms in the UK for over 10 years and we know from experience how important it is to make sure local residents, businesses and stakeholders are up to date with our plans, and that they have the opportunity to ask both us and our contractors any questions.
“Following our community exhibition last July, these information events will focus specifically on plans for the onshore cable works including environmental aspects, methods of installation and traffic management.
“I really encourage any local residents, members of Parish Councils and local businesses along the cable route to attend these events if they can.
“Meeting and speaking with someone directly from the project team means that people can ask specifically about what the works mean for them and learn more about this world-leading project that I hope people in the area will be proud of.”
Orsted said the wind farm is in the early stages of construction and will be completed in 2022.
Hornsea 2 will feature 165 Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines.
