The second round of consultation on the Tealing to Kincardine Upgrade Project (TKUP) project has now closed - thank you to everyone who visited our local events and shared feedback online. The comments received will be considered prior to development of the next stage of the project.
Scotland is producing more clean, green energy than ever before, and we need to strengthen the transmission network so we can get it to the homes, schools and businesses that need it.
The TKUP project involves increasing the voltage of overhead lines in Fife from 275,000 volts (275kV) to 400,000 volts (400kV). We also need to extend Westfield substation, near Ballingry, and Mossmorran substation, near Cowdenbeath, and build a new substation at Conland (west of West Conland Farm) near Glenrothes to strengthen the electricity transmission network and guarantee secure energy supplies for the future.
In 2024, we consulted local people on our initial plans to extend Westfield and Mossmorran substations and to uprate the overhead lines.
In this second round of consultation which closed in December 2025, we consulted local people on our plans for Conland substation and associated overhead line alterations.
Together this will increase the capacity of the electricity transmission network and help to guarantee secure energy supplies for the future.
We are now developing detailed designs for the substations, including locations for buildings, access routes and working areas. We will publish a report summarising the feedback received and how this has influenced our proposals. We will then submit the relevant local authority and Scottish Government planning applications.
