Stornoway GSP Upgrade
Pre-Application Consultation Event
The feedback event will be held on: Thursday 20 August, 4–7pm, Cabarfeidh Hotel, Stornoway, HS1 2EU
SSEN Transmission would like to invite you to attend our Feedback Event. We encourage all members of the local community and all interested parties to attend the event.
We are holding the first of our statutory pre-application consultation (PAC) events for our proposed re-development of the Stornoway Grid Supply Point (GSP). The pre-application process is a key first step in the Town and Country planning process for national planning applications.
To support the growth in renewable energy developments across the North of Scotland and Islands, which are supporting the drive towards Net Zero, investment in our network infrastructure is needed to connect this power and transport it to areas of demand.
The Stornoway Grid Supply Point (GSP) Upgrade Project aims to connect increased generation on the SSEN Distribution network to the wider GB Transmission System. To ensure there is sufficient capacity on the SSEN Transmission Network for this future generation, an extension to the Stornoway GSP is required.
At this event we will be sharing information about the projects, including layout details, visualisations and environmental and cultural considerations taken into account within our planning. The project teams will be available to answer questions and discuss our proposals, to which we are seeking and welcome feedback.
If you are unable to attend this event or wish to view the information session materials, these will be on display and available to download from the project documents section of the project's webpages.
