en.Wedoany.com Reported - SSEN Transmission has begun construction on the Spittal to Peterhead subsea cable project. This link, connecting Caithness and Aberdeenshire in the UK, aims to enhance renewable energy transmission capacity. This 2GW high-voltage direct current cable will support UK energy security and optimize power transmission pathways.

The project construction involves onshore works, with local contractors Nicol of Skene and John Gunn and Sons carrying out activities at Rattray Head and Sinclair's Bay. The Rattray Head works include horizontal directional drilling, pipeline installation, and the construction of a main compound. In Caithness, early preparatory work such as access road construction and drilling has commenced, with the main compound expected to become operational in the coming weeks.

Niall MacLeod, Project Director for Spittal to Peterhead, said: "We have made significant progress on the Spittal to Peterhead link project, reflecting the close collaboration between SSEN Transmission, our principal contractor NKT, and our delivery partners Nicol of Skene and John Gunn and Sons." He added: "The close working relationship among the project teams supports safe, high-quality construction activities on site and lays a solid foundation for the next phase of the project."
