General – Survey
Next Geosolutions announced the award of two contracts value at approximately €41 million with Prysmian.
The contracts concern the execution of detailed survey services that will provide critical data for designing and engineering the Eastern Green Links (EGL) 1 and 2 submarine power cable systems.
These key infrastructure projects will enhance the energy connection between Scotland and England.
EGL1 is a 2 GW HVDC electrical superhighway to be developed by a partnership between SP Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET). EGL2, another 2 GW HVDC electrical superhighway, will be developed by SSEN Transmission and NGET. Both projects aim to strengthen the
UK’s renewable energy network, connecting Scotland and England, and have Prysmian as their selected cable EPCI contractor, which selected NextGeo in turn as their survey contractor.
NextGeo will conduct a comprehensive land topographical survey and marine geophysical and geotechnical survey activities along nearshore and offshore sections of the cable route corridors.
The activities for EGL1 will start in Q2 2025 and concluded by Q4 2025, as well as this, the survey activities related to the EGL2 project will take place between Q2 and Q4 2026.
