⚡️ Following feedback from local residents, we’ve relocated a proposed temporary construction compound in the Contin area.

This change reflects our commitment to minimising disruption and working closely with communities as we progress the underground cable section of the Western Isles HVDC Link. Advance works are due to begin in early February, and details of the new location for the temporary compound will be shared in the coming weeks.

Evelyn Morgan, our Senior Regulation Analyst, moved to Elgin, and now she can’t imagine living anywhere else. From forest walks and beaches just minutes away to a community that welcomed her in, she’s found home, purpose, and a career she loves.

Her work helps bring the energy transition to life for the communities around her.

We plan to invest £22bn+ in transmission projects across the north of Scotland, supporting more than 8,000 jobs in the north of Scotland.

👏 We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended our recent public engagement event at Voe Public Hall and shared their views on our proposals for the Kergord 2 substation and new overhead line connection.

Around 160 people came along, and we received a wide range of constructive and thoughtful feedback. Your input plays a vital role in helping us shape plans that will support renewable energy connections, strengthen the local grid, and provide energy security.

All feedback received will now be carefully considered as we refine our proposals. We look forward to returning in early summer to share updated plans and continue the conversation.

🚧 Update on A832 roadworks information events 🚧

Due to severe weather and challenging road conditions, our planned community information events in Aultbea (7 Jan) and Badcaul (8 Jan) have been cancelled to keep everyone safe.

Works on the A832 are still expected to begin from 19 January 2026, operating under a single-lane convoy system, with delays anticipated to be no longer than 15 minutes at a time.

We remain committed to keeping the local community informed and will share details of alternative information events as soon as they’re confirmed, ahead of planned nighttime works later in 2026.

We’re delighted to share that the Scottish Government Marine Directorate has approved a variation to the existing marine licence for the Western Isles HVDC subsea cable link – a crucial step in strengthening Scotland’s electricity transmission network.

This approval moves the Western Isles subsea cable project forward, unlocking the region’s vast renewable energy potential while driving economic growth, energy security, and the transition to a cleaner, greener system.

Importantly, the project will be delivered with a strong focus on nature-inclusive design, ensuring that environmental considerations are embedded throughout to protect and enhance Scotland’s unique marine and coastal ecosystems.

Building on recent planning consent for the Lewis Hub, this decision marks another important step in our £22bn+ investment programme to upgrade the north of Scotland’s transmission grid.

💙 Giving back to the communities we work in 💙

Teams on our New Deer Substation Extension project have been coming together to support local people and places – from donating food and essentials to Aberdeenshire North Foodbank this Christmas, to volunteering time and resources to refresh New Deer Public Hall and support local heritage initiatives such as the Keith-Dufftown railway.

Alongside this, the project has reached an exciting milestone with the arrival of the first major electrical equipment, marking the start of the next phase of construction and supporting the future of Scotland’s energy network.

✅ Planning consent for the Aberarder wind farm connection project has been granted.

The project will see a new 5km overhead line linking the proposed wind farm to the existing Dunmaglass 132kV transmission line - connecting more clean power to the grid and allowing it to be transported across Scotland and the UK.

🚧 With consent now in place, construction is expected to begin in spring 2026.
