Ofgem approves transmission investments required for 2030 Government targets

Scotland | Transmission

SSEN Transmission projects identified by the Electricity System Operator (the ESO) as required to meet 2030 offshore wind targets will now be taken forward as part of the ASTI framework.  These are:

  • Two 2GW subsea high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links from Peterhead to England, both of which will be taken forward as joint ventures with National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET);
  • A 2GW subsea HVDC link from Spittal in Caithness, connecting to Peterhead;
  • A 1.8GW subsea HVDC link from Arnish on the Western Isles to the Beauly area near Inverness;
  • 400kV onshore reinforcements, between Beauly, Blackhillock, New Deer and Peterhead; between Beauly, Loch Buidhe and Spittal; and between Kintore, Tealing and Westfield; and
  • Uprating the existing Beauly to Denny line to enable 400kV operation on both circuits.
