OUR PROJECTS


Options appraisal for Scottish Power Transmission


Scottish Power Transmission commissioned us to undertake an Options Appraisal to identify the best environmental and technical location for two 132kV single circuit transmission lines totalling 25km in length which will connect two proposed wind farms (Ewe Hill and Newfield) in Southern Scotland to the National Grid. We have undertaken full Public and Stakeholder Consultation, assisted with landowner way-leave negotiations, participated in a public exhibition, and prepared a full EIA.


EIA and permitting at Kraftnat Aland


This strategically important project aims to connect the Island of Aland with Finland by sea cable. WSP has provided the EIA and environmental permitting for the construction of a 150km of 100MW DC undersea cable and a 110kV on-shore transmission line and distribution substations to enable this link to be made.


Underground cables to support proposed wind farm


Integral to the proposed development of the Toddleburn Wind Farm was a commitment by Scottish Power Energy Networks to construct a new 6km underground cable connection between the proposed wind farm and the existing wind farm at Dun Law. From Dun Law, the additional supply is to be connected to the national grid via an upgrade to the substation. The proposed cable route runs close to an existing private water supply. We assessed the potential impacts on the farm from the proposed underground cable construction and recommended mitigation measures for adoption by the cable contractor.
