The National Grid are embarking on a project to upgrade the electricity transmission grid owing to the increased production of energy within the UK.
Previously known as East Anglia Green, the Norfolk to Tilbury pylon scheme is part of National Grid's Great Grid Upgrade, aiming to create greener and more affordable energy to homes and businesses. However, with many of the new sources of energy being planned for the East of England, the current electricity transmission network in the area would not be able to accommodate the increase in production.
The current proposals for this scheme would see a network of brand new pylons being created to run from Norwich, down to Tilbury in Essex. Where the route passes through an Area of Natural Beauty in Dedham Vale, the cables will be buried underground. As more sources of electricity are brought into service, they will be able to be connected to the network with ease.
Bramford to Twinstead is a specific part of the scheme running through Dedham Vale with the existing network capacity being upgraded. The plan for this specific section is to replace 27km of overhead lines and replace with new pylons, and 11km of underground cabling,
