National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) and SP Energy Networks (SPEN) are working to deliver the Cross Border Connection project – a 400kV overhead line between the proposed Gala North substation and North West England. SPEN is developing the Gala North to Scottish Border section of this Project.
The Scottish section of the proposed overhead line would be between 75km and 85km, running from the proposed Gala North substation to a point at the Scotland-England border, south of Newcastleton. The line would connect to the new proposed Teviot substation, which would potentially be located to the east of Teviothead. The proposed overhead line would use a 400kV double circuit line supported by steel lattice towers.
There is currently a consultation process ongoing which you can find more details of here.
I would also like to hear your views about the project and any concerns you have so I can raise them directly with NGET and SPEN.
