Proposed Kintore to Tealing 400kV OHL – Current Status

SSEN submitted the Section 37 application for the Kintore-Tealing 400 kV Overhead Line on 19th September. Hard copies of the application documents are held at Westhill Library and in Echt Hall.

There is less than a week to submit objections to the Energy Consents Unit for this project which, if approved, will greenlight the next phase of the industrialisation of rural Scotland with a slew of windfarms, solar farms and battery storage sites to follow. If you are unaware of the project, you can view the project website here: https://www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/project-map/kintore-tealing-400kv-ohl-connection/
 
The deadline for objecting to this proposal is on Monday 27th October 2025.
 
Over 1,000 objections to the proposals have been submitted thus far, but far more objections are needed to stop this proposal from being approved.
 
If you want to protect our countryside, object now.
