Overview
About the Project
The project consists of:
- A new 132/33kV Grid Supply Point (GSP) at Gremista with a 22km double circuit 132kV connection, which will be a combination of both underground cable and overhead line, between Gremista GSP and Kergord substation.

Why is the Project Required?
The Gremista GSP, and the 132kV connection to the Kergord substation will connect Shetland to the GB electricity network for the first time. The GSP will also provide the connection point for a new battery to help support Shetland’s ongoing energy requirements and enable Lerwick Power Station to move to standby mode, further supporting the decarbonisation of Shetland.
Community Engagement
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 proposal and we want to understand what local people think about our plans.
We endeavour to take the time to discuss proposals with local community councils, encourage engagement from the wider community and listen to the feedback we receive.
We will do our best to answer any questions and address issues or concerns that are raised with us.
When our project progresses into construction, we will continue working closely with the local community to ensure that our work has as little impact on the lives of those living and working in the area and as many long term positive effects as possible.
How we’re embracing artificial intelligence (AI)
We intend to use AI to assist our experienced teams in the analysis of your feedback, so we can categorise key points raised more quickly. You can learn more about how we’re utilising AI on this dedicated web page.
