Gate 2 Phase 1 Explained
NESO reformed the connections process in 2024. Gate 2 status means the connection is confirmed and secured; no queue uncertainty, no timeline risk.
This project has cleared the critical path to energisation. The connection infrastructure is defined, the capacity is allocated, and the timeline is locked.
