Published requirement descriptionNational Grid Interconnector Holdings Limited and TenneT are developing proposals for a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Multi Purpose Interconnector "Lion (Euro) Link" between England and Netherlands in support of ongoing programs for strengthening both the UK and Dutch Transmission Networks. The development process has identified the need for a HVDC Interconnector installation over accumulative distance of approximately 200km. Survey requirements are thus arisen to establish suitability of a preferred route alignment.
