Blackhillock Substation Expansion Environmental Impact Assessment for SSE
Natural Capital is undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment for the expansion of Blackhillock Substation as part of the Shetland to Mainland grid upgrade.
Natural Capital has been engaged to carry out detailed EIA work for SSE for the proposed Blackhillock Substation expansion, near Keith in Moray. This project forms part of the larger grid upgrade for the connection of Shetland to Mainland Scotland, via a subsea cable. Work has commenced and public exhibitions will be held in the near future to gain consultee feedback and identify any issues or opportunities involved. Submission of a planning application is planned for mid-2012.
