Scotland is producing more clean, green energy than ever before. We need to strengthen the transmission network so we can get it to the homes, businesses, hospitals and public services that need it.
There is an increase in generation capacity on the network that requires connection to the electricity grid between Dun Law and Galashiels. The network needs reinforcements to enable connection of this additional generation capacity to the grid and ensure we can comply with our statutory and license obligations.
Based on feedback received during the first round of consultation in summer 2024, changes have been made to the preferred route and proposed infrastructure. The proposed replacement line now includes overhead and underground power lines.
SP Energy Networks is consulting on modified proposals before identifying a final, Proposed Route to take forward to design development and further consultation before seeking consent to install the replacement line.
