🌐 Milestone Alert: NeuConnect's 'Invisible Energy Highway' Takes Shape! At CEA, we're proud to have supported NeuConnect in reaching a pivotal milestone in creating an innovative energy connection between the UK and Germany. The project has completed its first phase of cabling, marking a critical step in creating a direct energy link between two of Europe's largest markets. Key Highlights: • 56km of cabling installed in UK waters and onshore • 725km interconnector set to power up to 1.5 million homes • 1.4GW capacity to flow bidirectionally • Cutting-edge 525 kV High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology This £2.4bn/€2.8bn project isn't just about infrastructure – it's about boosting energy security, integrating renewable sources, and demonstrating international collaboration. At CEA we provide NeuConnect with dedicated Marine Consents Management for the UK and Netherlands, ensuring that their contractors are meeting the conditions of their marine licences and that construction is undertaken in line with permit conditions. In collaboration with the technical experts we are required to fully understand proposed construction methods, the potential environmental impacts and communicate to NeuConnect any permitting risks, often in a fast pace manner.    As the first phase completes, we're energised by the potential of this transformative energy journey. Cabling works will pause over winter and accelerate in 2025, with the full project expected to complete in 2028, so stay tuned for more updates!
