We are planning two rounds of public consultation before we submit our consent applications to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit.
This first round of consultation, from 23rd September to 23rd December 2024, is to seek people’s views on our preferred route for the proposed new overhead line, and where the new line might go within that route.
