My attention has been drawn, courtesy commenter Lady Gargar, to a stakeholder consultation
(PDF) by SSE on the proposed high-voltage direct current connector
between Stornoway and Beauly, for the benefit of renewable energy
schemes in the Outer Hebrides. Reliable sources have indicated that
construction of the sub-station at Gravir could commence in September,
for the cable to become operational from an extended Arnish sub-station
to Beauly by 2015.
The documentation, dated June 2012, refers to the schemes in the
Western Isles. SSE did announce on 8 August 2012 that the scheme in
Pairc will not now go ahead. I am wondering if this invalidates their
stakeholder consultation; however, I doubt whether that will thwart the plans for the cable.
