The geographic area on the borders of East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, and Dumfries & Galloway is sparsely populated but rich in natural wind and hydro resources.
It has therefore attracted interest from developers wishing to connect significant renewable generation to the transmission system. As the existing network does not have sufficient capacity to cope with the level of demand, a new transmission network is required.
Known as the South West Scotland Connections Project, this work will support and facilitate the connection of wind farms in this area.
