Jerome Mayhew is one of 13 MPs criticising plans for pylons across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
Batteries to store energy from wind turbines to power homes will be located in a field in Swardeston, NorfolkEast Anglia has been left out of a £54bn national network for UK energy provision, a Conservative MP has said.He was among a group of 13 MPs who criticised plans for a 112-mile line of pylons across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.The plans would see extra pylons installed to carry offshore wind power from Norwich to Tilbury, Essex.
"The frustration is that the one bit of the whole country that was left off the Holistic Network Design was East Anglia. The co-leader of the Green Party Adrian Ramsay said: "The government has left East Anglia out, it's very clear." Jess Asato, Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for Lowestoft, said: "Clearly, it is important to get the local community's support in terms of the infrastructure required, but we can't hide our heads in the sand.
Marie Goldman, the Liberal Democrat deputy leader of Chelmsford City Council, said: "We are seeing the result of a failure of this government to prioritise investing in renewable energy and they are now scrabbling round with a scheme that hasn't been thought through." A National Grid ESO spokeswoman said: "We are carefully considering the feedback we are receiving from communities and stakeholders across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex as we develop our proposals in East Anglia.
