LCU2
Adjust the existing network to form a circuit from Kincardine North towards Strathaven and Smeaton using existing pylon routes |
Type: Upgrade existing circuits
Status: Scoping
Boundaries: B5; B6SPT
Region: North England |
Reconfiguration of existing 275 kV circuits between Kincardine and Currie and Currie and Cockenzie via Smeaton and Kaimes, reprofiling one side of the existing overhead line double circuit to 400 kV operation. Establishes a new 400 kV corridor north to south, tying into existing east-west 400 kV circuits.
This project had a Hold recommendation in the NOA2021/22 Refresh and continues to be recommended as Hold. |
