政府批准了海底电缆项目。一条连接肯特郡和萨福克郡的大型新海底输电电缆已获政府批准。
Sea Link cable project approved by government A major new undersea electricity cable linking Kent and Suffolk has been approved by the government.
Sea Link 项目将有助于输送海上风电场、互联互通线路和核电站产生的电力，以增强电网。
The Sea Link project will help carry electricity generated by offshore wind farms, interconnectors and nuclear power stations to strengthen the grid.
这条长 138 公里的电缆将穿越北海，连接肯特郡的佩格韦尔湾和萨福克郡奥尔德伯勒与索普内斯附近的海岸。
The 138km cable will run beneath the North Sea between Pegwell Bay in Kent and the Suffolk coast near Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.
环保人士担忧，该计划可能影响野生动物、敏感的沿海栖息地和更广泛的景观。
Conservationists have raised concerns that the plans could impact wildlife, sensitive coastal habitats and the wider landscape.
国家电网公司表示，该方案将具备输送足以供 200 万户家庭使用的电力的能力。
National Grid said the scheme would be capable of carrying enough electricity to power the equivalent of two million homes.
该项目旨在将多达 2 吉瓦的低碳电力从发电地输送到全国各地的家庭和企业。
The project is designed to transport up to 2GW of low-carbon electricity from where it is generated to homes and businesses elsewhere in the country.
政府表示，该方案将有助于缓解电力网络压力，并减少因电网无法输送而需支付发电商停机费用的情况。
The government said the scheme would help ease pressure on the electricity network and reduce the need to pay generators to switch off power that cannot be carried on the grid.
政府还称，该项目将支持改善能源安全、减少对化石燃料依赖的努力。“深感失望”肯特野生动物信托表示对该决定“深感失望”。
It said the project would support efforts to improve energy security and cut reliance on fossil fuels. 'Deeply disappointed' Kent Wildlife Trust said it was "deeply disappointed" by the decision.
一位发言人说：“我们认识到升级电力网络以支持向低碳未来转型的必要性。然而，破坏或退化那些帮助我们应对气候变化、保护我们免受其影响的自然栖息地，其中存在深刻的讽刺意味。”
"We recognise the need to upgrade the electricity network to support the transition to a low-carbon future," a spokesperson said. "However, there is a profound irony in destroying or degrading the very natural habitats that help us tackle climate change and protect us from its impacts."
规划检查署表示，其已听取当地意见，并在提出建议前充分考虑了收集到的证据。
The Planning Inspectorate said it had listened to local views and fully considered the evidence gathered before making its recommendation.
肯特野生动物信托表示，将“继续质疑该项目，并追究相关责任人的责任”。“我们有责任向子孙后代确保这一决定的后果不被忽视。”
Kent Wildlife Trust said it would "continue to challenge the project and hold those responsible to account". "We owe it to future generations to ensure that the consequences of this decision are not overlooked."
