£54bn needed to upgrade grid for offshore wind expansion
Abstract
National Grid's Holistic Network Design report compiled with help from Atkins and WSP. Supporting planned offshore wind farms will require 94 onshore projects alone to upgrade and build new grid lines costing together £22bn. The total cost of onshore infrastructure recommended between now and 2030 is £21.7 billion across 94 projects. Offshore network infrastructure required to connect the extra 23GW needed to meet the Government’s target will cost an additional £32bn.
