The cable route will be included in a final submission to the Planning Inspectorate this summer.
A cable route to transport power from an offshore windfarm to the national network has been chosen following public consultations.
The Rampion 2 project team said a route was needed to take electricity from the planned new turbines off the West Sussex coast to the network at Bolney. Operator RWE said the cables would be buried underground and the land returned to its former condition.Rampion 2, an expansion on the existing windfarm which opened in 2018, could generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than one million homes, according to RWE.Chris Tomlinson from RWE said consultations on alternative cable routes were driven by public feedback, plus ongoing engineering and environmental assessments.
This was mainly to protect ecology, avoiding the Warningcamp Hill and New Down Local Wildlife Site, plus ancient woodland.Secondly, at the northern end of the eastern route, option 1d has been selected to reconnect to the original route at Sullington Hill.Mr Tomlinson said the goal throughout had been to identify a route which "meets the needs of local communities, wildlife and the environment, while providing an economic connection solution.
Should the project achieve consent, RWE said construction could start around 2026-27, with the windfarm fully operational by 2030.
