We have carried out essential maintenance work on the 400kV overhead electricity transmission line between Lovedean in Hampshire and Bolney in West Sussex.
Project overview
The works on the 64.5km overhead line between Lovedean to Bolney are now complete and the team have removed all the equipment from the sites along the route.
The route, made up of 190 pylons with two circuits, begins at our substation in Lovedean and runs close to the South Downs National Park, to our substation at Bolney. We have refurbished sections of the route since May, replacing fittings on towers and steelwork where necessary.
Electricity is now flowing evenly across both circuits, rathe than through one side of the line as it had been while the refurbishment work took place.
This has been essential maintenance work, needed to maintain and improve our network and ensure we can continue to operate a safe and reliable electricity system in the future.
