Aquind, which has drawn up proposals to bring electricity from France to the UK, will be wanting to get the public’s thoughts on the plans.

As previously reported in The News the proposals, which are in the early stages, would see electricity run from France through subsea cables, out of the sea at Eastney in Portsmouth, before going underground to Lovedean, near Waterlooville.
