SP Transmission have recently completed the major refurbishment of one of our key overhead lines in the Scottish Borders.
BL overhead line operates at 132 kV and routes between Eccles and Berwick Substations running for a distance of over 40 km.
The successful major refurbishment of the 71 tower line has included tower condition assessments, identified maintenance along with the replacement of conductors.
The investment cost of the project was in excess of £20 million. SP Energy Land Officers played a key part in the project agreeing the necessary access arrangements with landowners.
This activity was part of the £2 billion plus RIIO T2 price control period currently being delivered across SPENs infrastructure in central and southern Scotland ensuring the network continues to deliver a safe and secure energy supply as the nation transitions to net zero.
