What Happens Next

Comments received during the consultation on our modified preferred route will be taken into consideration alongside findings of environmental surveys to help identify the final proposed alignment for the overhead line. The detailed design of the project will be undertaken in close coordination with NGET.

We are planning to hold a second round of consultation events in 2026 to share how we have taken on board your comments and seek feedback on our final proposals before we submit a Section 37 application to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit to seek permission for the development.
