What Happens Next

Comments received during this consultation on our preferred route option will be taken into consideration alongside findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment to help identify the final alignment for the replacement overhead lines. The detailed design of the project will be undertaken in close coordination with NGET. 

We are planning to hold a second round of consultation events in 2026 to share how we have taken on board your comments and seek feedback on our final proposals before we submit a Section 37 application to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit to seek permission for the development.
