The onshore will be installed under the coastal defence and railway using Trenchless Technology. The primary technique under consideration for these works is HDD, although other methods such as thrust boring may be used.

 will also be used to install onshore cables at a number of highway crossings to minimise disruptions to traffic. HDD and duct installation work will most likely be undertaken outside of the peak tourist season.

The HDD and cable installation works are expected to last for approximately 16 weeks.

German engineering firm RWE AG is planning to construct the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm 13–15 kilometres off the coast of northern Wales. The proposed 2.8 hectare onshore electrical sub-station is necessary to connect the electricity generated by up to 208 offshore wind turbines to the National Grid. The Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is expected to  have 576 MW capacity upon full commissioning.
