Tarchon are pleased to announce that the non-statutory consultation for the Interconnector Project opens on Friday 3rd July 2026 and will run for six weeks until Thursday 13th August 2026.
The proposed Tarchon Project will create a direct power link between the UK and Germany. Connecting the two energy markets, it will increase energy security and reliability, reduce CO2 emissions and help to reduce energy costs.
In the UK, the proposed Tarchon Project will come onshore in the Tendring peninsula, Essex, with a landfall zone being considered south of Harwich. Approximately 15 km of underground cables will travel from landfall to connect with the Tarchon converter station, which will transfer the HVDC power to HVAC power. The Tarchon converter station will then connect with approximately 5 km of underground cable to National Grid’s proposed East Anglia Connection Node (EACN) substation.
As part of our non-statutory consultation, we will be holding five drop-in events for the residents and communities in the Tendring district. The consultation events are scheduled as follows:
We would like to invite you to take part in our non-statutory consultation. You can find out more about our proposals by viewing our website, where consultation information will be available from Friday 3rd July 2026, attending our webinar and/or coming along to one of our events, where you can speak with the project team, ask questions and share your views.
