National Grid electricity connection consultation

National Grid needs to connect proposed new wind farms in Mid Wales to the electricity transmission network.

National Grid is proposing to construct a new substation to collect the energy from the wind farms and a new 400,000 volt (400 kV) transmission connection which will then take the power from the substation and connect it to the national transmission system.

They are considering different options and are asking local people for their views.
