Communities which host new electricity infrastructure should benefit from doing so. Millions of pounds will be available to benefit local communities and the wider area from these projects.
This is why, as part of our Stage 2 consultation and our Weston Marsh targeted consultation, we asked local people for their views on community benefit funding.
The aim is to understand what is important to you, and where funding could deliver long-lasting benefits, including through community grant schemes and investment in community groups or via regional partnerships.
Government guidance published in March 2025 sets out which projects qualify and how much funding should be provided. For example, for a new substation, the funding is £530,000 and for new overhead lines, it is £200,000 for every kilometre built. Across Grimsby to Walpole, this means millions of pounds will be available for local communities. The feedback you have provided through the survey will help shape how these funds are used during construction and operation.
