Onshore elements
In order to transmit the energy generated offshore on to the national electricity grid, Navitus Bay requires a cable route and onshore substation. On this page you can see how the onshore substation may look and view a detailed map of the proposed cable route.
The onshore elements of the project start at the landfall, located at Taddiford Gap between Barton-on-Sea and Milford-on-Sea. The 35km (22 mile) underground cable route goes past Hordle, around New Milton, and passes Hinton, Sopley and Avon before heading through West Moors to the substation site in Three Legged Cross.
Draft land plans have been produced along the proposed associated onshore works.
