Construct a new 400 kV double circuit in north East Anglia to facilitate power transfer requirements across the relevant boundaries. Substation works are required to accommodate the new circuits.

Construct a new 400 kV double circuit in south East Anglia to facilitate power transfer requirements across the relevant boundaries. Substation works are required to accommodate the new circuits, including a new substation to facilitate customer connections.

Construct a new 400 kV double circuit between Beauly and Blackhillock. At both sites extend the 400 kV busbar arrangements to allow for the connection of two additional bays.

Uprating of the 275 kV side of the existing Beauly-Denny circuit to 400 kV operation between SHE Transmission and SPT. Substation works will be required at Beauly, Fasnakyle, Fort Augustus, Kinardochy, Braco West and Denny North. The Errochty I/T scheme (implemented under ECU2) shall be amended to trip the 400/132 kV supergrid transformer (SGTs) at Kinardochy under loss of the 400 kV double circuit south of Kinardochy.

Thermal Upgrade of the Bramley to Fleet circuits to allow them to operate at higher temperatures, and increase their thermal rating.

Install a power control device along the Bramley to Fleet 400 kV overhead line route. This would improve the capability to control the power flows across the South Coast of the transmission network

Replace the conductors in the Bramley to Fleet circuits with higher-rated conductors to increase their thermal ratings.

Upgrade the existing network to a higher voltage between Blackhillock and Kintore

This project is to reinforce the existing BSW/BSE Beauly - Shin - Loch Buidhe 132 kV double circuit overhead line with a higher capacity 400 kV double circuit overhead line

Install new MSCs at Burwell Main which will provide voltage support to the East Anglia area as system flows increase in future.
