The Beauly 132kV Reinforcement project is required to enable the connection of the Loch Luichart Extension II windfarm. Infinergy signed a connection offer for 36MW of generation in 2019, and SSEN Transmission are now looking to replace aging assets at Beauly 132kV substation to enable this connection to the grid.
The project will involve the following elements:
This project will deliver more operational flexibility and improve network security at Beauly 132kV substation.
Throughout the life of our projects, we aim to work positively with local communities and keep people informed about what we are doing. This is particularly important when we are developing a project and we want to understand what local people think about our plans.
We endeavour to take the time to discuss our proposals with local community councils and the wider affected community and to carry out engagement at key stages, listening to feedback before finalising project plans.
Whilst we are unable to hold public consultation events or meetings at this time, we will be seeking to engage with the local community through other means, to ensure that local residents have the opportunity to provide feedback at an early stage in the development.
The project was initially introduced to the local community in October 2020 via a virtual consultation exhibition to provide greater detail about the project. Further virtual consultation will be carried out later this year.
