ofgem Consultation
Before planning has been granted for Sea Link, OFGEM are proposing to advance funds to National Grid Plc to speed through the following works:
1) Early construction activities.
2) Compulsory purchase of land.
3) Enabling works such as reconductoring the newly built line from Richborough to Canterbury (this line is not included in the Sea Link DCO or within order limits for project).
4) Early procurement commitments (buying cables etc).
5) Other activities approved in advance by Ofgem (not disclosed).
The funding request is for 48% of the total projected project cost, higher than the usual 20% cap for advancing projects without planning permission.
