The National Grid proposes a new 60km electricity pylon route in Derbyshire to connect a new Chesterfield substation to an existing one in Willington, South Derbyshire. The project aims to carry six gigawatts of electricity, enough to power six million homes, and modernize outdated infrastructure that lacks capacity to handle growing power output from offshore wind turbines. A public consultation will start on May 14 and run for eight weeks.
