Public consultation is now live, Monday 17th of March 2025
Ossian Transmission Infrastructure
We’ve launched a non-statutory consultation on our proposals in Lincolnshire
Consultation is open from Monday 17 March until Sunday 13 April 2025
We’re writing to let you know that we have launched a non-statutory consultation on our proposals in Lincolnshire.
Ossian is a proposed floating offshore wind farm located approximately 80km off the east coast of Scotland (referred to as the Ossian Array).It has the potential to deliver up to 3.6GW of renewable energy and, once built, it will connect to new national grid infrastructure - at proposed substations near Spalding and Alford in Lincolnshire.
Please note the non-statutory consultation is a separate process to our request for a Scoping Opinion recently submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. The Scoping consultation is a formal process governed by EIA regulations; the non-statutory consultation detailed below is part of Ossian's community engagement consultation.
These proposals, referred to as the Ossian Transmission Infrastructure, include all the elements needed to connect the Ossian Array to the national grid in Lincolnshire.
Those elements are -
• Offshore Export Cables
• a Landfall location on the Lincolnshire coast
• Onshore Export Cables
• Onshore Converter Stations close to proposed National Grid substations.
Ossian has the capability of powering up to 6 million homes and offsetting up to 7.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year. This makes it vitally important in supporting the UK’s target of reaching net zero by 2050 and help ensure the country’s future energy security.
We’ll be hosting a series of in-person events throughout the consultation as well as publishing information on our project website – www.ossiantransmission.com
