Where is this happening?

The way we generate electricity in the UK is changing rapidly, and we are transitioning to cheaper, cleaner and more secure forms of renewable energy such as new offshore windfarms.

We need to make changes to the network of overhead lines, pylons, cables and other infrastructure that transports electricity around the country, so that everyone has access to clean electricity from these new renewable sources. These changes include a need to increase the capability of the electricity transmission system between the North and the Midlands, and between the Midlands and the South. It is also needed to facilitate the connection of proposed new offshore wind, and subsea connections between England and Scotland, and between the UK and other countries across the North Sea.

Our Grimsby to Walpole proposals are part of The Great Grid Upgrade.

Our first stage of our public consultation aimed to introduce you to National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), explain why an upgraded grid requires work in this area and outline our early proposals for a new electricity transmission line between a new substation at Grimsby and Walpole, along with three further new substations along the route.
