Views sought from LPAs on electricity substation design
The research and development team of Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution is running research aimed at planners and local authorities regarding a new type of electricity substation.
The team was recently awarded £2.8m from Ofgem’s Network Innovation Allowance to develop a brand new type of substation.
The aim of the project is to develop, deploy and test a wholly modular substation on the network that could be up to 70 per cent smaller than current substations. The project is called Modular Approach to Substation Construction (MASC).
