The UK's energy regulator Ofgem has opened a consultation on early competition for transmission projects and raised the spending cap for establishing NESO
SP Energy Networks has opened a public consultation on a major infrastructure improvement project set to strengthen transmission between Scotland and England.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Transmission has hit a major milestone on its project to connect the Orkney Islands to the main British power grid, having awarded contracts to several major development firms.
The completion of the Viking Wind Farm, developed by SSE Renewables, and of a 260km subsea transmission link installed by SSEN Transmission means the Shetland Islands are now connected to the Great British electricity grid.
The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem has approved a £3.4 billion funding package to build a new 436km subsea electricity cable connecting Scotland and Yorkshire.
Grid constraints could cost consumers £3.5 billion by the end of this decade, but while we wait for HVDC infrastructure buildout, let's build batteries too, writes Chris Wickins, technical director at developer Field.
The UK’s transmission and distribution operator National Grid has announced that it will invest £60 billion in network and grid upgrades over the next five years.
