Beauly - Peterhead 400kV Overhead Line - Coachford Proposed Alignment Design Changes: Keith Event

We are pleased to be hosting public consultation events for the proposed Beauly – Peterhead 400kV Overhead Line Connection project. 

These events are to share the design changes to the proposed overhead line in the Keith area (Alignment sections 19 & 20) as a result of the removal of the proposed Coachford Substation as part of the project scope.

This round of events will conclude our project engagement prior to the consent application that we now aim to submit for the Proposed Development to the Energy Consents Unit of the Scottish Government in Early Autumn 2025. The application will be submitted in line with the requirements of section 37 of the Electricity Act 1989. 

The event will be held on:  

Date: Thursday 26 June 2025 
Time: 3-7PM
Venue: Longmore Community Hall, Banff Road, Keith, AB55 5ET

The project team will be at the event, and we invite and welcome members of the public to attend and hear more about the changes in the proposed development in the local area. Feedback can be provided via forms available at the event, the online form on our project webpage or via email to the project inbox. The comments period will be open until Friday 18 July 2025. 

Any comments made to us as the Applicant are not representations to Scottish Ministers as the decision makers. There will be opportunity to make formal representations to Scottish Ministers via the Energy Consents Unit following the submission of the section 37 application.
