Name of terminals

Which are the correct names of the endpoints? ABB names "Shatton" respectively "Woodland", in the article several other names can be found. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.209.1 (talk) 20:21, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Developers

If the private project was developed by East West Cable One Ltd., why the examption from the third party access was requested by Imera Power?[1] Beagel (talk) 19:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That application was later resubmitted by East West Cable One Ltd. and publicly consulted upon by both regulators Ofgem — Preceding unsigned comment added by Energyman (talk • contribs) 21:00, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Location of British Terminal

Where is the British Terminal exactly located? Is the building visible on http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=53.229962&lon=-3.074187&z=17&m=b really the inverter?

The article gives no source for the coordinates, but it is a reasonable candidate. Google StreetView identifies the site as National Grid's Deeside Substation. This site (dated 2008) says "Its indoor gas insulated switchgear (GIS) replacement will be better equipped to provide a grid connection for Eirgrid’s East–West Interconnector". I am unsure whether the building indicated is big enough for the inverter. The Welsh end of the Western HVDC Link it to be just over the River Dee. The building identified as its termination point is larger, but the Western HVDC Link has a higher capacity than the East–West Interconnector. Verbcatcher (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I now see that you are identifying the building on the other side of the main A548 road, at 53°13′48″N 3°04′27″W / 53.229962°N 3.074187°W, not the 53°13′38″N 3°4′22″W / 53.22722°N 3.07278°W location specified in the article. Yes the building you indicate could be the inverter, and the location in the article could be the connection switchgear. However, Google StreetView from the A548 road shows that one of your buildings was under construction when the image was captured in August 2015, well after the East–West Interconnector was commissioned.
