The Construction of East Anglia ONE commenced in 2017 and some final works are still being undertaken on site. To find out more about what activity is taking place please click here.
East Anglia ONE in-field remediation work
The in-field remediation works off the Bealings Road opposite Culpho Hall are set to continue until early September. The lights have been removed but traffic will be managed with Stop/Go boards controlled by an operative.
Traffic management signage has been installed, to advise a 30mph speed limit and warning that there is a construction access in the area.
Advisory signage has also been installed at Waldringfield Road, Martlesham for remediation works that will take place in the area until early September. In addition, there is to be a Temporary Obstruction 15-Minute Delay (TO15) order in place at Waldringfield North in the postcode area IP12 4PH on Wednesday 14 September, subject to approval by Suffolk County Council. This is for surface reinstatement works.
East Anglia ONE Sunday working
Following the announcement that the day of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's funeral is to be a bank holiday, no work will take place on Sunday 18th September in keeping with arrangements for previous bank holiday weekends.
Sunday working will be taking place in August and September, apart from on 28 August, at two locations on the Kirton Estate. This remediation activity has been agreed with the landowner and the local planning authority and will take place at Broom Hill and Diggin Hill in the Hemley, Newbourne area. Both sites will run in parallel and should complete over the same period. Working hours will be from 8am – 4pm on Sundays and there will be no HGV movements during this time. Noise and activity from the works will be similar in nature to agricultural activity.
We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause.
East Anglia THREE
East Anglia THREE has secured a Contract for Difference through the Allocation Round 4 process. Please view the press release to find out more.
East Anglia THREE onshore construction
On 11 July construction started at the East Anglia THREE onshore converter station. Early work will include the mobilisation of office, welfare and storage facilities, followed by excavation work to build the platform where the converter station will stand. Materials dug out in the process will be re-used on the Bramford site to create a landscaped bund to screen the development.
Our contractor will also begin the enabling works for the EA THREE onshore cable route, with the installation of three access points off the public highway to our working areas.
To ensure a safe working environment for all road users and the local community, we will implement two road closures with diversions and a Public Right of Way closure. Full details are available on our EA THREE onshore construction updates page.
East Anglia THREE offshore surveys
Scottish Power Renewables is to undertake an East Anglia THREE Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) survey this year. The survey will cover a 100m wide area along all EA3 offshore cable routes, a 200m radius around each planned wind turbine location and a 1500m radius around the planned Offshore Convertor Station location.
Three vessels are scheduled to undertake the surveys from 5th July to early October this year. Some activity will be visible from land.
