EGL4 Project documents

SP Energy Networks have submitted two planning applications to Fife Council for the EGL4 project. As agreed with the Council, we have submitted an In Principle application for the converter station and a Full planning application for the underground cables.

Both applications are supported by one environmental impact assessment report (EIAR) and a number of other documents. Those documents are included here for reference and will also be available on the Fife Council Planning Portal once the application has been validated.

Details and links to the Council website will be added once the application is available there.

Our final round of consultation ran from Monday 12 May to Friday 06 June 2025. We produced a number of supporting documents for this consultation:

• EGL4 Public Exhibition Banners
