        苏格兰政府海洋管理局日前正式批准了西部群岛高压直流海底电缆项目的海洋许可证扩容修订方案，以满足该输电线路的容量提升需求。

 

        该项目是苏格兰和南方电力网输电公司（SSEN Transmission）220亿英镑电网升级投资计划的核心组成部分，旨在强化苏格兰北部输电网络。该工程原海洋许可证于2021年获准，因西部群岛新型电缆线路需提升输送容量，故申请许可证修订条款。

 

        项目建成后，将通过全长82公里的海底电缆将西部群岛接入大不列颠主干输电网络。日立能源将为工程提供高压直流换流站，NKT集团将负责电力电缆系统供应。

 

        继去年11月路易斯枢纽项目获得规划许可后，此次许可证修订的获批标志着项目推进再获关键进展。

 

        苏格兰和南方电力网输电公司（SSEN Transmission）海洋许可与环境事务主管Peter Watson表示："此次获得现有海洋许可证的修订许可，是我们这么多年项目开发的里程碑成果。这对于加强苏格兰输电网络建设、推动能源结构向更清洁安全方向转型具有战略意义。"

 

        "基于项目所处的独特海洋环境及我们与各利益相关方建立的紧密协作关系，将推动我们实施创新性的海洋监测模式。此次工程实施过程中我们将充分纳入生态包容性设计理念，并在建设过程中同步开展海洋生态修复。新年伊始，我们将深化与Little Loch Broom、Arnish等地海事团体及社区的合作，期待在项目推进过程中进一步深化合作。"

Scottish subsea link gets approval for capacity increase

 

The Scottish Government Marine Directorate has granted the variation to the existing marine license for the Western Isles high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cable link, allowing the needed increase in capacity.

 

The project is a key component of SSEN Transmission’s planned £22 billion investment program to upgrade the north of Scotland’s electricity transmission grid. The original marine license was approved in 2021, but a variation was required due to the increased capacity for the new Western Isles cable link.

 

Once complete, the project will connect the Western Isles to the GB transmission network through an 82-kilometer subsea cable. Hitachi Energy will deliver the HVDC converter stations for the project, with NKT delivering the power cable system.

 

This approval follows on from the positive planning consent decision for the Lewis Hub, granted in November.

 

“Securing this variation to the existing marine licence marks the culmination of many years of development, and is an important milestone in our programme to strengthen Scotland’s transmission network and support the transition to cleaner, more secure energy,” said Peter Watson, Lead Marine Consents and Environment Manager at SSEN Transmission.

 

“The unique environment we are working in and the close working relationships with our stakeholders will allow us to look at new ways of monitoring the marine environment and incorporate nature-inclusive design and marine restoration into the construction of the link. The new year will bring a new focus to our engagement with the local maritime community as well as communities in Little Loch Broom and Arnish, and we look forward to working closely together as the project progresses.”
