SSEN Transmission will hold a public consultation event at the Loch Fyne Hotel in Inveraray on June 11, from 2pm to 7pm. Attendees will be able to view the proposed alignment of the new 132kV overhead line, which would run from the wind farm site between Loch Fyne and Loch Awe to SSEN Transmission’s new Creag Dhubh substation, currently under construction. At approximately 12km in length, SSEN argues that the connection is essential to enable the 67.2MW wind farm to export power to the grid.
