Our proposals

We are proposing a new 132 kV connection to transport clean, renewable energy from Lan Fawr energy park, Ceredigion, to a new National Grid substation in Llandyfaelog, Carmarthenshire.

Following our first consultation, we have developed our proposals in response to feedback and our ongoing assessments.

We have used these to produce a draft route alignment, showing the proposed pylon locations and additional infrastructure we need.

Our proposals include:

• A draft route alignment showing proposed locations for pylons, seeking to keep effects as low as we can on communities and the landscape.
• A new draft route alignment near Cwmann, further away from homes and the primary school.
• A section of undergrounding in the Merlin’s Hill area in recognition of its cultural and historical significance.
• A second section of undergrounding near to the proposed Llandyfaelog substation to help manage visual effects in an area where there is already existing infrastructure.
