Kintyre-Hunterston

Kintyre-Hunterston transmission line
On 12 January 2007 Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Limited (SHETL), a subsidiary of Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), published a Consultation Document on the possible development of a new high voltage electricity transmission line capable of accommodating output from renewable energy schemes which may be developed on the Kintyre peninsula and to connect this to the existing mainland transmission network at Hunterston in Ayrshire.

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Ltd (SHETL) is now intending to submit a planning application to Argyll & Bute Council for a new 132kV electricity substation and access at Crossaig Forest, Skipness, Argyll.

We would like to extend our thanks to those of you that came along to our Public Exhibition on the 23rd February at the Skipness Village Hall. We were delighted by the high volume of people who came to enquire about the proposal. If you were unable to attend the Exhibition, but would like more information, please contact Pauline Allison on the details noted below. For reference the storyboards and the leaflet which were on display at the Exhibition are now attached.

If you wish to submit comments in respect of the proposal, please send them to the email address below.
