Projects

Events

We are pleased to be holding an overhead line (OHL) routeing public consultation event to gain views and feedback on our routeing options for our Blarghour Wind Farm Connection Project. Consultation events were held previously for this project back in 2022 and 2023 however, following ground investigation works undertaken after our 2023 consultation the previously identified preferred route could not be delivered as planned. Consequently, new route options have been developed, and we are now seeking your views on the newly identified potential route 3. The consultation event will be taking place on: Thursday 5 March 2026, 2–7pm Loch Fyne Hotel, Shore Street, Inveraray, PA32 8XT During our drop-in event you will be able to view further information about our proposals, meet the team, and ask questions. We encourage all members of the local community and all interested parties to attend the event. 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. If you are unable to attend the public event all the material that will be on display will be available to be downloaded on the Project Documents section of the project webpage. Please let us know if you require information in an adapted format such as paper copy, large print or braille and we will work with you to accommodate your preferences. We are happy to accommodate all reasonable requests for adapted communications.

Pathway to 2030 FAQs

Working with Communities

Over the last year, SSEN Transmission has carried out extensive public consultation on plans to transform the electricity transmission network across the north of Scotland with the Pathway to 2030 projects. Thousands of people attended the consultation events and shared their feedback. Many inquiries were about the need for the projects, the engagement process, environmental considerations and what alternative technologies may be available. We've compiled a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ to address many of these points.
