UK: SP Energy Networks has completed an $22.2 M (£18 M) major reinforcement project in North Shropshire that will facilitate new growth and development across the region.
The project will also enhance the resilience of the network for 30,000 homes and businesses in the area.
It is the largest SP Energy Networks reinforcement project in England and Wales, and will increase the network capacity to enable development plans and the further introduction of low carbon technologies.
Since 2016, SP Energy Networks has been planning and constructing the upgrade to the existing substation at Wem with the installation of a 132 kV wood pole overhead line and underground cable from the existing substation at Oswestry.
“Shropshire continues on its journey to becoming Net Zero by 2030 and we are proud to support this transition and the communities we serve. Our £18 million investment will also help communities in North Shropshire realise their own Net Zero ambitions by providing infrastructure to increase electricity network resilience and supporting the decarbonisation of transport, heat and industry in the area,” said Mark Sobczak, 132 kV General Manager at SP Energy Networks.
