The Yorkshire GREEN Project will allow cleaner energy to flow into homes and businesses that need it in Yorkshire and beyond. It will provide a new connection and reinforcement on the electricity transmission system, whilst supporting ambitious Net Zero targets set by the government.
We need to build approximately 7km of new overhead lines, a number of sealing end compounds (that link together overhead lines and underground cables), underground cables and two substations, to link two existing overhead lines and to reinforce the system to increase the capacity of the network in the Yorkshire area. We will also need to undertake additional improvement, replacement, realignment and strengthening works to existing infrastructure, including existing overhead lines (conductors), fittings and pylons.
