Rothienorman Substation 400kV Upgrade Project is striding forwards

Our Rothienorman Substation 400kV Upgrade Project is striding forwards! Hear more from Project Manager Arthur Sinakov who outlines more about the delivery of two 400kV supergrid #transformers to the substation, which are key components in increasing the load flow of electricity to the transmission network and transporting clean, #renewable power to where it is needed most.   

 
The huge units – weighing around 130 tonnes – were delivered by specialist haulier JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd and required careful planning to arrive safely at the substation, and mark a major milestone in the project.
 
The #Rothienorman Substation project is part of a wider strategy to reinforce the transmission network in the North East and East Coast of Scotland to accommodate increased renewable energy generation, helping to deliver a network for net zero.  It is on track to be completed in late autumn this year.
