The 27-kilometre Rampion onshore cable route starts at Brooklands Pleasure Park in Worthing and follows a course under the railway, the A27 and the River Adur before heading northeast past the Old Cement Works, across the South Downs and the Weald to a new, purpose built Rampion Substation before final connection into the nation’s transmission grid at Bolney Substation in Mid Sussex.
Cable route reinstatement was completed in 2019, and the project is now halfway through a 10-year monitoring and management plan, meaning the land will continue to be monitored every year until 2029 with additional planting and seeding undertaken, if required.
The Rampion cable route is entirely underground so whenever you can see overhead lines and pylons in the video footage, these are unrelated to the Rampion cable circuits which are buried underground for the entire route. For Rampion 2, we will bury the cables underground again so any inconvenience will be temporary, during construction only, with the land fully reinstated.
