The principal objectives of this study are to identify options and assess feasibility for: - Route corridors for the export cable (onshore and offshore) - Landfalls - Onshore substation locations The study includes an assessment of the likely offshore and onshore environmental and consenting issues, engineering constraints and economic constraints for each route. Specifically, the Scope of Work will comprise: - The identification of possible onshore routes between suitable landfall areas and the grid connection point (including onshore substation locations, onshore export cable routes and landfall sites); - The identification of possible offshore export cable routes; - A review of the potential offshore and onshore environmental issues for each route identified - Review of possible consenting issues for each route identified - Review of the potential engineering constraints both onshore and offshore for each route identified There will be no limitations when published on the Marine Data Exchange otherRestrictions Data Must be used in accordance to the Marine Data Exchange's Terms of Use: https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/info/terms-of-use otherRestrictions Crown Estate Scotland +44 (0)131 260 6070 enquiries@crownestatescotland.com custodian Intertek METOC Metoc.information@intertek.com originator Crown Estate Scotland +44 (0)131 260 6070 enquiries@crownestatescotland.com distributor Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd info@morayoffshorerenewables.co.uk owner notPlanned Geographic Information System https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/CES-370/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.

Land cable route corridors: Criteria adapted from the Holford rules to make them suitable for routing underground cables (see Appendix A.2). Substation sites: Approach based on the Holford Rules (Supplementary Notes on the Siting of Substations), and informed by MORL preference for sites within 1 km of Peterhead Power Station (see Appendix A.2). The following methodology has been used to quantify potential feasibility of the various elements of the transmission infrastructure, and to allow them to be ranked in terms of environmental and technical risks.
