LS Eco Advanced Cables (LSEAC) has launched a five-week public consultation on its proposals to develop a high voltage cable production facility at the Port of Tyne for subsea electricity transmission, designed to transport clean energy generated by offshore wind onto UK shores.
While plans are at an early stage and still being finalized, total investment is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion (£923 million), which would put the North East at the heart of the UK’s clean energy transition.
This proposal would see a state-of-the-art facility to manufacture deep sea cables built on land within the Port of Tyne (South side, Tyne Dock). The industrial complex would include a series of buildings - including a manufacturing space, testing facilities and offices - situated around a 202-meter-tall tower where the cables would be stretched and sheathed before use.
The facility would lead to 500 direct jobs and a thousand more across the wider supply chain, including in high-skilled roles in engineering, the developer said.
The consultation runs from May 14 to June 18, and provides an opportunity for local communities, businesses and organizations to give their feedback on the proposed development before the final planning application is made to South
