I object to this windfarm connecting to the proposed East Anglian Connection Node; I favour a connection via Sealink or the Tarchon Interconnector, as part of a shift in network design to offshore connectivity and transmission. I also think that both 5E and NFalls should transmit DC power, so HVDC undergrounding on land is much cheaper and line-loss is reduced to a minimum. They will also be able to connect directly to undersea cables. Arup analysis of Norwich to Tilbury shows that reduced line loss can significantly reduce constraint payments.
