SSEN Transmission: Red John Pump Storage Connection Public Consultation Event

April 18, 2022 by simon

We’re contacting you to inform you that SSEN Transmission are hosting a public consultation event to present our proposed options for the Red John Pump Storage Connection project.

The project includes the construction of two 275kV point of connections for the Red John Pumped Storage Scheme 450MW at the new Red John 275kV Switching Station. The Red John 275kV Switching Station consists of a new 4-bay 275kV GIS double busbar switching station complete with bus section and two bus couplers.

The Red John 275kV Switching Station will be connected to the existing Knocknagael 275kV Substation by approximately 9km of double circuit 275kV underground cable.

The project also includes enabling and wider works necessary to facilitate the connection of the Red John Pumped Storage Scheme onto the 275kV transmission network at the existing Knocknagael 275kV Substation.

The consultation event will take place on Thursday 28th April 2022 in the Lochardil House Hotel from 2-7pm

We would like to extend an invitation to local members of the community and all interested parties to attend an exhibition to discuss our plans with the project team and let us know your thoughts on our proposals.

If you have any questions about the event or require any support to attend, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Cheers.
