Detailed Route Corridor Study
The environmental route corridor study was completed by TEP – The Environmental Partnership (TEP) for National Grid. The study focuses on a potential new 400kv over head line between Bridgwater in Somerset and Seabank in Avonmouth to connect the proposed Hinkley Point C power station to the electricity transmission system.
Take a look at the strategic options report to see a detailed examination of what other options were considered.
