The Great Grid Upgrade: The Sealink Project.

Energy security has been a top priority within the UK for some time now. With International instability and the flourishing of high-energy usage technologies such as AI, to the recent high cost of energy for businesses and the community, it’s vital to make sure we have capacity to ensure a reliable, low-cost source of power for the country.

As a country, we already produce a large amount of power that goes unused due to the lack of capacity in the grid.

In light of this, the National Grid are preparing the largest upgrade in recent history for the infrastructure of the grid itself.

As part of this programme, Chamber Patrons, the National Grid, will be presenting about Kent’s local aspect of the grid upgrade, the Sealink Project.

This will connect offshore energy production to the South East, helping secure the energy security future for the region for years ahead.

This infrastructure change will also bring about many future procurement opportunities for businesses, and this will be a great opportunity to learn about these.
