Frequently asked questions
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the Brinsworth to Chesterfield and Chesterfield to High Marnham (formerly Brinsworth to High Marnham) Projects.
We hope they answer your questions about these Projects, but if you have any other queries, please get in touch with our Community Relations Team.
Projects and need cases
We’re proposing a series of works as part of both Projects to upgrade the existing separate high voltage overhead electricity transmission lines between:
- Brinsworth to Chesterfield from 275 kV to 400 kV as part of the Brinsworth to Chesterfield project; and
- Chesterfield to High Marnham from 275 kV to 400 kV as part of the Chesterfield to High Marnham project.
The delivery of these two separate reinforcement projects would enable us to get greater capability out of the existing network within these areas (known as uprating).
The Projects would reinforce the network in their respective areas through new substations, which enable electricity to be transported at different voltages, and upgrades to the existing overhead electricity lines from 275 kV to 400 kV. This would provide the necessary increased capacity of the electricity transmission network between South Yorkshire and the North Midlands area.
We also propose a series of works to build three new substations as part of these two Projects, including
- One on land east of Long Lane in Rotherham, South Yorkshire to enable the upgrade of the existing Brinsworth to Chesterfield overhead electricity lines as part of the Brinsworth to Chesterfield Project; and
- One at Cock Alley, in Calow near Chesterfield in Derbyshire and another at High Marnham, near Normanton on Trent in Nottinghamshire to enable the upgrade of the existing Chesterfield to High Marnham overhead electricity lines as part of the Chesterfield to High Marnham Project.
The delivery of these separate Projects will allow us to safely carry more energy from the North of England to homes and businesses in the Midlands and beyond and play an important role in building a more secure and resilient future energy system.
Like much of the high voltage electricity transmission network across the country, the network in the North of England and the Midlands was largely built in the 1960s. It was designed to connect in-land, large coal fired power stations and nuclear power stations in the North and Midlands areas. Little or no infrastructure was constructed in some areas, so there is currently limited ability to support connections on the coast. Today, power still flows largely north to south on this part of the network.
Some of the existing network in the centre of the country operates at 275 kV, which limits its capacity. The two Projects would separately reinforce the network between Brinsworth and Chesterfield and Chesterfield and High Marnham through new substations, which enable electricity to be transported at different voltages, and upgrading some of the existing overhead electricity lines from 275 kV to 400 kV. This would provide the necessary increased capacity of the electricity transmission network between South Yorkshire and the North Midlands area.
Without uprating, the network won’t have the capacity to move electricity across the network from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. Therefore, we need to upgrade it to maintain system compliance and prevent overloading circuits as they transport the energy that’s generated. In addition, the substations would connect new low carbon electricity generation and storage that’s planned in the area.
The delivery of these Projects would ensure that we continue to deliver electricity safely, reliably and efficiently to the customers and communities we serve - all while working towards building a cleaner, fairer and more affordable energy system for the future.
Guidance from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) identified that the existing transmission network in this region requires an essential upgrade to be able to transport the increased energy supply.
It’s anticipated the network between the North of England and the Midlands needs the capability to transfer around 31 GW of electricity by 2035, compared to the 11.6 GW that it can transfer today.
The Brinsworth and Chesterfield Project and Chesterfield and High Marnham Project, along with others, are priorities because the Midlands, South and East of England – which covers areas spanning from the Humber in the North to East Anglia and the Thames Estuary in the south – have been identified as areas in need of network reinforcement to enable the connection of more offshore wind on the East Coast, which would enable Britain to generate more low carbon electricity.
The UK Government has set targets for 50 GW of offshore wind electricity generation by 2030 and up to 140 GW by 2050. There is particular growth forecast in offshore wind capacity in Scotland and the North East of England, as well as interconnectors to and from European Power Grids. As more and more low carbon electricity is generated in Britain from the increase of offshore wind, more pressure will be placed on the existing network. The Midlands region has been identified as an area of the network that requires reinforcement.
The Great Grid Upgrade is the largest upgrade of the electricity network in England and Wales in a generation. The way we generate electricity has changed and is continuing to change. Demand for electricity is set to double by 2050 as the way we power our homes, businesses, industry and transport changes. We need to upgrade the grid now to ensure we can meet this increase in demand. You can visit The Great Grid Upgrade page for more information.
Planning
Yes, the proposed new substations require consent under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
We submitted planning applications to the relevant Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) including Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Bassetlaw District Council in winter 2025.
No, we don’t need planning permission for the work to uprate the existing high voltage overhead electricity transmission line which was originally granted planning consent in the 1960s to operate at 400 kV, but to date, has only operated at 275 kV.
However, we need to carry out further work to link the existing overhead line into the new substations which would be consented under section 37 of the Electricity Act 1989.
Following our public consultations in 2024, we submitted three separate Town and Country Planning Act planning applications for the proposed substations on land east of Long Lane, near Chesterfield and High Marnham to the relevant local planning authorities to gain consent to undertake this work.
The Brinsworth to Chesterfield Project and the Chesterfield to High Marnham Project (formerly Brinsworth to High Marnham) would support the UK’s transition to net zero by adding capacity to accommodate increasing power flows from low carbon electricity sources like offshore wind and interconnections in Scotland and North East England, which is expected to double within the next ten years, to areas of demand south to the Midlands and beyond.
By reinforcing the network in the centre of the country, these Projects would facilitate the connection of more low carbon electricity, to allow clean green energy to be carried around the network.
These Projects are one of several network upgrades designed to get greater capability out of the existing network; allowing more electricity to pass through the transmission network and help accelerate the connection of clean energy projects. This ensures we’re getting more out of our existing infrastructure, before building new.
The new substations being delivered by each of the Projects (on land east of Long Lane in Rotherham, near Chesterfield and High Marnham would enable us to upgrade the existing network in the region and connect future transmission network projects as part of The Great Grid Upgrade.
EMFs
Electric fields are produced by voltage and magnetic fields by current flowing through a conductor. Overhead lines are a source of two fields: the electric field (produced by the voltage) and the magnetic field (produced by the current). Underground cables eliminate the electric field altogether as it is screened out by the sheath around the cable, but they still produce magnetic fields.
National Grid takes the issue of health very seriously and relies on authoritative and independent scientific organisations, such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), to review the worldwide body of scientific evidence on electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) and health, as well as reviewing the science ourselves.
We believe it’s right that important decisions related to health are made independently of industry. We ensure that all our assets comply with the guidelines set by Government on advice from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
A vast amount of research has been done into the possibility of health effects, without establishing any risks below these levels set by the guidelines. For the most detailed information, visit www.emfs.info. You can also contact the EMF helpline on 0845 702 3270 or email [email protected].
Increasing the voltage of the overhead line will increase the electric field, but we ensure these remain within the safe levels set by Government. The magnetic field will be largely unchanged by the voltage increase, because a similar current will flow before and after the voltage increase. Both the electric and magnetic fields are highest directly under the overhead line but reduced very quickly as you move away from the line. More information on EMFs from these types of overhead lines can be found at www.emfs.info.
Lands
If you’ve received correspondence from Ardent, our land agents, please respond directly to the letter. It may request survey access or outline information regarding the ownership, occupation and use of your land. You can call 0203 442 8509 or email [email protected]. Alternatively, you can write to Ardent, 3rd Floor, 37 King St, Manchester, M2 7AT. 8DE.
If you have been contacted by our land agents, Ardent, it’s because your land or property is located near one of our proposed substations or within the red line boundary (RLB) for the overhead line works required for either of the Projects. Please respond to any correspondence to ensure that we have a full understanding of your related land interest.
We’re required to undertake a range of engineering and environmental surveys to inform the development of both of the Projects. If we require access to your land, our land agents, Ardent, will seek to agree this with you in the form of a licence agreement.
Surveys will be carried out by our contractors to identify and understand engineering and environmental constraints that could influence new electricity transmission infrastructure.
We have wayleaves and easements covering the existing overhead lines to provide the necessary legal rights to install and operate the overhead line safely and efficiently. In addition to the existing agreements, we’ll seek additional overhead line easements where required.
We’re undertaking a review of all our easements to understand if the rights contained are sufficient to undertake the works for the Project. If we do require any additional rights, Ardent will write to you to seek an agreement voluntarily. It’s our preference to agree all rights required voluntarily and Compulsory Acquisition powers would only be used as a last resort.
This largely depends on the location and type of construction activities required for both of the Projects, but we’ll develop a Code of Construction Practice relevant to the two Projects to avoid, minimise or mitigate construction effects on the environment.
It’d be reasonable to expect to see cars, vans, trucks, lorries, excavators, dumpers, tele handlers, winches, mobile cranes and road sweepers within the construction sites for the two Projects and the surrounding area.
We’d carry out surveys and consultation to gain a full understanding about how these works may impact affected landowners and their activities. Access may be restricted, but we try to minimise this where possible.
We employ best practice when installing new overhead electricity lines. You can read more about that in our Construction best practice for overhead line installation guidance document.
If you’re a landowner or occupier you should direct any further queries in relation to our proposals to our land agents, Ardent. You can call 0203 442 8509 or email [email protected]. Alternatively, you can write to Ardent, 3rd Floor, 37 King St, Manchester, M2 7AT.
Environment and impact
We included Ecological Appraisals (EA) as part of our Environmental Assessment Reports (EAR) which were submitted alongside each of our substation planning applications to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Bassetlaw District Council.
We’ve also completed Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessments, which were submitted alongside each of our substation planning applications to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Bassetlaw District Council, to demonstrate each of the substation developments’ compliance with the mandatory statutory requirements now imposed by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for developments to achieve a minimum of 10% BNG.
We’d carry out all work in line with best practise guidelines from the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management Good Practise Guide for Habitats and Species.
Feedback from community consultations, along with findings from our ongoing environmental assessments, have helped shape our proposals for both Projects. Our Environmental Assessment Reports (EAR) have also supported the planning applications.
Community
Communities play a vital role in the transition to cleaner sources of energy. We believe those that host energy infrastructure should benefit from doing so.
As part of these two Projects, we’re committed to work collaboratively with communities, stakeholders, suppliers and other parts of industry, to leave a lasting positive legacy by delivering community benefits in the areas that host our infrastructure.
The way we deliver community benefit funding is informed by government guidance, published in March 2025. This sets out the types of infrastructure projects that should deliver community benefit funds, and the level of funding that should be made available. This is based on £530,000 for new substations, converter stations and switching stations and £200,000 per kilometre of new overhead line. This includes changes to some existing network infrastructure, such as uprating existing overhead power cables and extensions to existing substations as defined within the government guidance.
Opportunities for young people
To help achieve net zero by 2050, we estimate our industry needs to recruit 400,000 jobs between now and 2050. Find out more about careers, apprenticeships and student placements with National Grid: https://jobs.nationalgrid.com/UK/
Grid for Good
Grid for Good is our flagship programme that helps increase access to training and employment opportunities for young people. We support students with career coaching and masterclasses.
Already we’ve reached out to students from schools and colleges across many parts of England, with more activities to come. Find out more about Grid for Good: https://www.nationalgrid.com/responsibility/community/grid-for-good
Our Community Grant Programme is aimed at community organisations and charities in areas affected by our work. We know our responsibility as a business goes beyond safely building new energy infrastructure to enable a cleaner, fairer and affordable future.
We want to leave a lasting positive impact where we build our projects to help those areas and communities thrive and to support a sustainable future.
When we’re nearer to construction, our Community Grant Programme for each of the Projects will be open for applications from local charities and not for profit organisations to support local community initiatives.

About substations
We’ve developed our proposals following consultation feedback we received. You can view the full applications and supporting documents on the relevant Council planning portals:
The Brinsworth to Chesterfield Project (formerly Brinsworth to High Marnham) would reinforce the network between Brinsworth and Chesterfield through a new substation on land east of Long Lane, which would enable electricity to be transported at different voltages, and upgrading the existing overhead electricity lines between Brinsworth and Chesterfield from 275 kV to 400 kV.
The Chesterfield to High Marnham Projects (formerly Brinsworth to High Marnham) would reinforce the network between Chesterfield and High Marnham through new substations at Chesterfield and High Marnham, which would enable electricity to be transported at different voltages, and upgrading the existing overhead electricity lines between Chesterfield and High Marnham from 275 kV to 400 kV.
The delivery of these Projects would ensure that we continue to deliver electricity safely, reliably and efficiently to the customers and communities we serve - all while working towards building a cleaner, fairer and more affordable energy system for the future.
We’d incorporate suitable and sensitive landscaping to help screen the proposed substations and minimise the visual impact on the existing landscape. Where possible, we’d retain existing vegetation and trees and mitigate any changes to the landscaping at each site.
We don’t anticipate any significant noise when the proposed new substations are operational and expect they’ll generate a low frequency ‘hum’. However, we’d carry out a series of acoustic surveys to assess background and operational noise. We’d then consider mitigation measures, such as landscaping and acoustic fencing, to minimise any potential impacts on surrounding residential areas.
We’ll discuss any local requirements with the respective local authorities for each substation to ensure we conduct the appropriate environmental surveys and noise assessments.
We’d ensure that any light pollution is kept to minimum during construction and when the substations are operational. Substations aren’t generally lit or permanently illuminated, other than sensor-activated security lighting for night-time access.
When complete, we expect traffic to and from the sites will be minimal, with around ten cars or light goods vehicles visiting the sites each month. We’ve developed a traffic management plan as part of our planning applications.
Selecting appropriate locations for new substations is critical to ensure secure and reliable electricity supplies, while balancing consumer costs, effects on communities and the environment and engineering requirements. We've taken all of these into consideration to identify the proposed sites on land east of Long Lane in Rotherham, near Chesterfield and High Marnham, including their proximity to the existing network.
The existing substation at Brinsworth would remain in operation alongside the new facility at Long Lane. We’d decommission the existing 275 kV substations near Chesterfield and High Marnham following the completion of the new 400 kV substations in these areas.
About existing infrastructure
When we uprate an overhead electricity transmission line, we increase the operational rating capacity of the existing transmission line to carry more electricity, in this case, from 275 kV to 400 kV. We’d retain the existing wires (known as conductors) based on their current condition.
The existing overhead electricity transmission line is already amongst the quietest that National Grid operates anywhere in England and Wales, and many lines of this type already operate at 400 kV without any noise impacts. While noise from the overhead line may increase following the voltage uprating, we don’t expect the increase would be significant.
We have wayleaves and easements covering the existing overhead lines which provide us access to retain, repair, replace, maintain and remove existing infrastructure. We’ll be in touch with any landowners with existing infrastructure with details to discuss access during construction.
Long Lane
We need to upgrade the existing overhead electricity transmission lines that run between Brinsworth and Chesterfield. Our proposals which form the Brinsworth to Chesterfield Project are part of The Great Grid Upgrade to help the UK switch to clean energy and make sure our electricity network is fit for the future.
The upgrade would mean the overhead transmission line between Brinsworth and Chesterfield can operate at 400 kV, rather than the existing 275 kV (known as uprating). The uprated transmission line would connect into the new substation on land east of Long Lane.
The existing Brinsworth substation operates at 132 kV and 275 kV so is unable to accept the incoming power from the uprated 400 kV line and is geographically restricted meaning we need to develop a new substation on land east of Long Lane.
The proposed site is on land to the east of Long Lane, north of the M1.
We must strike the right balance between maintaining secure reliable electricity supplies, managing the cost to consumers, potential effects on the community, the environment and local economy, as well as engineering considerations. Any new substation requires a minimum area of land to accommodate the new substation itself alongside construction compounds, access, security fencing, screening, and delivery of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
The proposed location on land east of Long Lane has been chosen following detailed options appraisal of available land near to the existing Brinsworth substation, which represents the best balance of these factors.
We submitted our application to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council in November 2025.
Long Lane - during construction
While there may be some disruption, we’d do all we can to minimise our impact on the local community. We’d continue to liaise with the local community and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, as well as Parish Councils to help us to better understand how we can minimise the potential impacts of our work. We’re committed to being a good neighbour and we’ll make sure any disruption to the local community is kept to a minimum.
None of our work would impact local electricity supplies. The work we need to carry out is on part of the national transmission system and has no direct effect on homes, businesses, schools and other premises in the area.
We don’t currently have details regarding our working hours. To ensure we can complete the Project as soon as possible, and help meet the UK’s net zero ambitions, we may need to work extended hours/double shift patterns. We’d agree our working hours with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and we’d update our site neighbours before we start work.
Given the nature of the construction work, it’s likely we’d generate some noise and dust. We’d regularly monitor these to ensure they stay within acceptable levels, as agreed with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. We’d adopt best practice measures to minimise construction noise and vibration to the lowest levels possible, where practicable.
We expect to access the site, for both the construction and operational phases, via Long Lane, to the west of the site. Long Lane benefits from direct connection into the wider network including the A630 Rotherway, A631 and the M1.
There are Public Rights of Way within the site that we may need to divert. We don’t anticipate any permanent closures. We’d agree any temporary closures with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and we've set out the details in the Environmental Assessment Report we included as part of our planning application. We’d let our site neighbours know in advance of any closures or diversions and make sure they’re clearly signposted at each end and on connecting footpaths.
We’ve assessed potential traffic and transport effects of the proposals as part of our planning application process. We’ll submit a comprehensive Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council before we start construction. This will detail our measures for mitigating the effects of road-based construction traffic, including the implementation of clear controls, defining hours of operation, specifying routes for large goods vehicles, and managing the timing of deliveries to minimise disruptions.
We’re aware of the nearby Scheduled Ancient Monument to the west of the site. While the construction of the proposed substation wouldn’t directly impact Blue Man’s Bower, the diversion of the existing overhead line to connect into the new substation would pass over it. We’d take care to minimise any impacts during the work and once the site is operational.
Chesterfield
We need to upgrade the existing overhead electricity transmission line that runs between Chesterfield to High Marnham. Our proposals which form the Chesterfield to High Marnham Project are part of The Great Grid Upgrade to help the UK switch to clean energy and make sure our electricity network is fit for the future.
This upgrade would mean the overhead transmission line between Chesterfield to High Marnham. can operate at 400 kV, rather than the existing 275 kV (known as uprating). The uprated transmission line would connect into Chesterfield substation in Cock Alley.
The existing Chesterfield substation operates at 132 kV and 275 kV so is unable to accept the incoming power from the uprated 400 kV line between Chesterfield to High Marnham. This means we need to extend the substation to install additional equipment.
In addition, as the transmission line between Brinsworth to Chesterfield would also be upgraded as part of the Brinsworth to Chesterfield Project so to also operate at 400 kV it would require connection works at the new 400 kV Chesterfield substation.
The proposed site is immediately south of the existing substation off Calow Lane.
We must strike the right balance between maintaining secure reliable electricity supplies, managing the cost to consumers, potential effects on the community, the environment and local economy, as well as engineering considerations. Any new substation requires a minimum area of land to accommodate the new substation itself alongside construction compounds, access, security fencing, screening, and delivery of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
The proposed location has been chosen following detailed options appraisal of available land near to the existing Chesterfield substation, which represents the best balance of these factors.
We submitted our application to North East Derbyshire District Council in December 2025.
Chesterfield - during construction

We’d regularly monitor these to ensure they stay within acceptable levels, as agreed with North East Derbyshire District Council. We’d adopt best practice measures to minimise construction noise and vibration to the lowest levels possible, where practicable.
Access to the new substation is proposed off Calow Lane to the west of the existing substation site. We expect to continue to access the existing substation off Calow Lane to the north of the site.
There are Public Rights of Way within the site that we may need to divert or close. We’d agree any closures with North East Derbyshire District Council and we've set out the details in the Environmental Assessment Report we included as part of our planning application. We’d let our site neighbours know in advance of any closures or diversions and make sure they’re clearly signposted at each end and on connecting footpaths.
We’ve assessed potential traffic and transport effects of the proposals as part of our planning application process.

This will detail our measures for mitigating the effects of road-based construction traffic, including the implementation of clear controls, defining hours of operation, specifying routes for large goods vehicles, and managing the timing of deliveries to minimise disruptions.
During construction, our proposed access would be located off Calow Lane, to the west of the existing substation to avoid plant and equipment going through the live substation. Calow Lane benefits from direct connection into the wider network including the A632, B6425, A617 and M1.
High Marnham
We need to upgrade the existing overhead electricity transmission lines that run between Chesterfield to High Marnham. Our proposals which form the Chesterfield to High Marnham Project are part of The Great Grid Upgrade to help the UK switch to clean energy and make sure our electricity network is fit for the future.
The upgrade would mean the overhead transmission line between Chesterfield to High Marnham can operate at 400 kV, rather than the existing 275 kV (known as uprating). The uprated transmission line would connect into High Marnham substation.
The existing High Marnham substation operates at both 275 kV and 400 kV but it doesn’t have sufficient capacity to accept additional incoming 400 kV power from the uprated High Marnham to Chesterfield lines.
The proposed site is immediately west of the existing substation off the Marnham to Fledborough Road.
We must strike the right balance between maintaining secure reliable electricity supplies, managing the cost to consumers, potential effects on the community, the environment and local economy, as well as engineering considerations. Any new substation requires a minimum area of land to accommodate the new substation itself alongside construction compounds, access, security fencing, screening, and delivery of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
The proposed location on land to the south-west of the existing High Marnham substation has been chosen following a detailed options appraisal of available land, which represents the best balance of these factors.
We submitted our application to Bassetlaw District Council in November 2025.
High Marnham - during construction
While there may be some disruption, we’d do all we can to minimise our impact on the local community. We’d continue to liaise with the local community and Bassetlaw District Council, as well as Parish Councils to help us to better understand how we can minimise the potential impacts of our work.

We’d regularly monitor these to ensure they stay within acceptable levels, as agreed with Bassetlaw District Council. We’d adopt best practice measures to minimise construction noise and vibration to the lowest levels possible, where practicable.
We expect to use the existing site access off the Marnham to Fledborough Road during construction and when the substation is operational. This road benefits from direct connection into the wider network, including the A57 and A1.
There are no Public Rights of Way (PRoW) within or in the vicinity of the site.
We’ve assessed potential traffic and transport effects of the proposals as part of our planning application process. We’ll submit a comprehensive Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) to Bassetlaw District Council before we start construction. This will detail our measures for mitigating the effects of road-based construction traffic, including the implementation of clear controls, defining hours of operation, specifying routes for large goods vehicles, and managing the timing of deliveries to minimise disruptions.
We expect to use the existing site access off the Marnham to Fledborough Road during construction and when the substation is operational to avoid plant and machinery passing through the existing facility.
