Appointed by BAM for the reinforced concrete structures package at the UK’s single largest electricity transmission project Eastern Green Link 2.

Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2), a joint venture between SSEN Transmission and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), reaching another of a new subsea electricity superhighway after sealing contracts with BAM and Hitachi Energy to supply and build converter stations at either end of the subsea cable.

EGL2 will see the creation of a 525kV, 2GW HVDC subsea transmission cable from Peterhead in Scotland to Drax in England. 

This will be the longest HVDC cable in the UK and the UK’s single largest electricity transmission project ever, transporting enough electricity to power two million UK homes.

After travelling 436km southwards under the sea from Peterhead, EGL2’s subsea cable will come ashore on the East Yorkshire coast at Fraisthorpe Sands and then run underground for 68km to a new HVDC converter station at Drax

Cidon’s scope of work includes the delivery of reinforced concrete works for service building basements – a significant milestone for us as we begin our first collaboration with BAM. We are delighted to contribute to this landmark project and are currently in negotiations for follow-on phases.  

This appointment reinforces Cidon's continued role in delivering complex infrastructure solutions to support the UK’s energy future.
