We are delivering a major upgrade to modernise the electricity network in Lymm, so we can meet increasing demands for electricity in a cleaner and greener future.
We are replacing a 13km cable connection in Lymm to future-proof the local network and ensure a safe, reliable and resilient electricity supply for the region.
The project will be delivered in stages, with work starting at two separate locations in Lymm in early January 2025. The work will involve digging sections of road and footpaths to replace old cables, then connecting the new cables to various points on our local supply network.
The work is scheduled for completion in July 2026, by which time the new, modern cable connection will be in place and supporting a reliable supply of electricity that’s fit for the future.
We’re working with Warrington-based partner Opus Utility Solutions to deliver the work, which will start with installing a section of the cable on Cherry Lane and the Lymm Footpath.
Diversion routes and signage will be in place to make people aware, and we will complete the work as safely and quickly as possible to minimise disruption.
We’ll ensure access to properties and businesses is always maintained, and do not expect electricity supplies to be interrupted as a result of this work.
Our plans have been agreed with Warrington Borough Council and are designed to minimise disruption to road users.
We will keep residents regularly informed as our work progresses, or if any of our plans change.
