@RosieP4 Even though @ofgem isn’t fit for purpose, by not doing their job in assessing NG Norfolk to Tilbury proposal, they’re able to assess a report to work out a formula, for paying residents off! Bonkers! So basically, tax payers are paying tax payers to accept a very bad deal??? 🤷‍♀️

@RosieP4 We don’t want cash,we want the right project for E.Anglia.If @ofgem assessed this proposal using treasury green book this conversation wouldn’t be happening! We won’t stop until there’s an offshore grid proposal on the table,if that means dragging it through the courts,so be it.

@RosieP4 @PylonsEAnglia @ofgem @NationalGridESO said, Adopting an integrating approach for all offshore projects to be delivered from 2025 has the potential to save consumers approx. £6bn,or 18% in capital & operating expenditure between now & 2050! We aren’t we? @RishiSunak @grantshapps @AndrewBowie_MP

@RosieP4 How depressing! Suppose to be protesting ecosystem, surely this is a huge leap backwards - pylons and underground cabling are so destructive. Offshore has so many benefits.

@JunagarhMedia @bpolitics He could literally save £2bn with an integrated offshore grid & cut fossil fuel- which he pledged to make @nationalgriduk look at last summer for E.Anglia but nothing!It’s bonkers. Diagram 1 is NG proposal- utterly madness, D2 is a strawman approach from NG totally nonsense.D3 ✅

@BrentToderian @luton_paul And better or worst projects for villages and towns!! London could have green energy yesterday but riding roughshod over land from Norfolk to Tilbury with Pylons isn’t the answer! When an integrated #offshoregrid has so many benefits to our ecosystem ! @RishiSunak @grantshapps

@dalejames77 @CharlieJGardner @MumClimate Green energy from Norfolk to Tilbury - tilbury already has a tunnel to London where this energy is heading. No need to destroy 180kms of countryside when offshore grid has huge benefits

@cathal110569 @CharlieJGardner @MumClimate An integrated offshore grid! Green energy is being made off the coast at Norfolk heading to Tilbury-doesn’t need to come ashore until it’s destination! Diagram 1 is what @nationalgrid are proposing.D2 strawman isn’t an offshore grid it’s nonsense. D3 is what’s needed-saving £2bn

@CharlieJGardner @MumClimate Definitely-should be cheaper too for consumers! But destroying parts of the UK with old fashioned Pylons and underground cables when an integrated #offshoregrid saves consumers £2bn, 50% less infrastructure on land and our very precious ecosystem is a massive step backwards!

@BloombergUK Wondering what you think of @nationalgriduk ludicrous proposal for E.Anglia,180km swathe of old fashion pylons when @NationalGridESO say an integrated offshore grid would save consumer £2bn & 50% less infrastructure killing our ecosystem @RishiSunak @grantshapps @AndrewBowie_MP

It will be sheer idiocy if a mooted ‘presumption in favour of pylons’ goes ahead. Why presume a pylon if the power is generated offshore and can stay offshore to get where it is needed? 🤷‍♀️. Also we will be looking to see if Treasury Green Book gets a ref. It should.

NEW Ministers will announce their plans to simplify planning rules for pylons on Friday⚡️ National grid say 5 times as many need to be built in the next 7 years as the last 30 Already caused backlash from Tories like environment sec Therese Coffey bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@ionewells Our East Anglian MPs & some in Lincs are actively campaigning FOR an integrated offshore grid. £2bn cheaper than current ‘piecemeal & pylons’ approach AND better for the environment. All county councils on board. Plus 25k who signed a petition. @PylonsEAnglia

Why aren’t you doing this??Adopting an integrating approach for all offshore projects to be delivered from 2025 has the potential to save consumers approx. £6bn,or 18% in capital and operating expenditure between now and 2050! NG need re-education

Just look at what you could achieve…Diagram 3 is what’s needed and will win votes, save consumers money and 50% less infrastructure. D1 is carnage for the UK,which you say you’re passionate about?! D2 is nonsense from @nationalgrid offshore grid means less landing points.

Also @OliverDowden why isn’t @ofgem assessing this major project using the Treasury Green book - surely that’s criminal and means ofgem isn’t fit for purpose??

Hi @OliverDowden just listened to R4 this morning, was slightly laughable, what do you think 180km of pylons will do to our beautiful countryside if not blight it, working with colleagues 🤔 15 MPs are all calling for an offshore grid for E.Anglia - how’s that listening ?

@RosieP4 Couldn’t agree more Rosie! It will probably close our holiday home business due to the proximity of these monstrosities….

Secondly, when a project does go ahead, COMPENSATION is needed. I hate all the calls I get from distraught people unable to sell their house and entitled to nothing. A community playground is insulting. Benefits are seen by powers that be to be a solution. They are not. /
