BAM wins contract for southern end of new Scotland-England power cable
National Grid has appointed BAM UK & Ireland to build the southern converter station for Eastern Green Link 3, a planned 2GW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link between Peterhead in Aberdeenshire and Walpole in Norfolk, jointly developed with SSEN Transmission. BAM already holds the contract for the project's northern converter station near Peterhead, with Mott MacDonald as lead civil and structural designer.
Our readIt gives BAM continuity across both ends of one of the grid's biggest point-to-point transmission links. That is the kind of track record contractors will want to point to as more HVDC projects move into construction.
