Having supported SSEN Transmission during the early contractor involvement phase, Balfour Beatty will now progress with enabling works. Main construction is expected to start in early 2026 and at peak Balfour Beatty will employ approximately 800 people on the job. “We now look forward to working with Balfour Beatty to deliver a world-leading strategic energy hub for onshore and offshore projects, that will be critical to delivering a cleaner, more secure and affordable energy system for future generations.”Got a story?
