SSEN Transmisson Events Regarding New Overhead Power Lines

28th February 2024

In order to support the continued growth in onshore and offshore renewables across the north of Scotland, supporting the country's drive towards Net Zero, investment in network infrastructure is needed. This will connect renewable power and transport it from source to areas of demand across the country.

Extensive studies have confirmed the need for a new 400kV connection between Spittal and Beauly, connecting into new 400kV substation sites at Spittal, Loch Buidhe and Beauly. The project includes the following elements:

A new 400kV connection between Spittal and Loch Buidhe
A new 400kV connection between Loch Buidhe and Beauly
New 400kV substations at Spittal, Loch Buidhe and Beauly

SSEN Transmission are hosting a series of pubic information events across the project route from 11 March to 28 March 2024.

The Helmsdale event is on Tuesday 12 March 3-7pm
