MRP2
Additional power control devices at both Harker and Penwortham |
Type: Control power flow
Status: Construction
Boundaries: B6E; B6F
Region: North England |
Install additional power control devices at both Harker and Penwortham. This would improve the capability to control the power flow in both these areas of the transmission network.

Type: Upgrade existing circuits
Status: Scoping
Boundaries: B7a
Region: North England |
Upgrade the existing Mersey ring of circuits and substations to allow for more capacity (Phase 1 of 2)
|
NOA 2021/22 Refresh Recommendation: Hold |
MRU2
Upgrade the existing Mersey ring of circuits and substations to allow for more capacity (Phase 2 of 2) |
Type: Upgrade existing circuits
Status: Scoping
Boundaries: B7a
Region: North England |
Upgrade the existing Mersey ring of circuits and substations to allow for more capacity (Phase 2 of 2)

NBRE
Reconductor Bramford to Norwich double circuit |
Type: Upgrade existing circuits
Status: Strategic Optioneering
Boundaries: EC5E; EC5I; LE1; SC1Rev
Region: East England |
The double circuit that runs from Norwich to Bramford would be reconductored with a higher-rated conductor.
|
NOA 2021/22 Refresh Recommendation: HND essential option |
NEMS
225 MVAr MSCs within the north east region |
Type: Voltage and stability constraints
Status: Strategic Optioneering
Boundaries: B7aE; B7aI
Region: North England |
Three new 225 MVAr switched capacitors (MSCs) at Norton, Osbaldwick and Stella West 400 kV substations would provide voltage support to the east side of the transmission network as system flows increase in future.

NOA 2021/22 Refresh Recommendation: Hold |
NEP1
Power control device along Blyth to Tynemouth and Blyth to South Shields |
Type: Control power flow
Status: Strategic Optioneering
Boundaries: B7aI
Region: North England |
Install an additional power control device along the Blyth to Tynemouth and Blyth to South Shields 275 kV overhead line route. This would improve the capability to control the power flows from north to south of the transmission network.
