SSEN

The approval for SSEN to develop the 220MW power link is subject to conditions

The project is a partnership between the Scottish Government and network companies including SP Energy Networks and SSEN

Material from the demolition struck the overhead electricity network, which led to the power outage between 7am and 8.20am on Sunday

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks says along with price incentives and better consumer engagement, this could slash emissions and costs associated with energy

The support provided will include energy efficiency advice, referrals to the Warm Home Discount Scheme, supplier switching advice as well as benefits checks

The money will be used to elevate the village of Osney Island’s substation above the high-water level

Consumers providing the flexibility services will typically be paid around £300/MWh

It is expected to dramatically reduce the duration of unplanned power cuts

The former decision is subject to Viking Energy Wind Farm being awarded subsidies through the Contract for Difference scheme

They aim to keep more renewable energy flowing onto local networks
