National Grid is extending its public consultation on proposals for a new electricity substation in Rotherham until 11:59pm on Monday 22 July.
As part of the Brinsworth to High Marnham project, National Grid is proposing to build and operate a new 400 kV substation on land to the east of Long Lane, in Rotherham.
National Grid says the new substation, which forms a key part of The Great Grid Upgrade, will play an important role in building a more secure and resilient future energy system and provide the ability to transport cleaner energy from the North of England to homes and businesses across the Midlands and beyond, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Leanne Evans, Project Director for Brinsworth to High Marnham, said: “We’d like to thank everyone for taking part in our consultation so far, your comments and feedback are invaluable in helping to refine our proposals for this important development. If you haven’t yet done so, please do get involved, visit our website and find out more.”
National Grid expect the proposed substation in Rotherham to be operational in winter 2029.
