Consultations

2016 Public events

The team behind the project to build the France-Alderney-Britain electricity interconnector invites you to visit our public consultation events to seek your views on all aspects of the proposed underground and subsea cables in UK and Alderney and, in East Devon, the planned converter station.

The events will include information boards and copies of the draft application file consisting of detailed plans, technical reports and environmental appraisals of the onshore and offshore proposals. Staff from the FAB Project will be in attendance to answer questions and provide further information. Responses from the public will inform the final onshore and offshore applications for the project.
