Another Kergord substation and larger pylons being considered by SSE
[]
Shetland News
If they were installed, they would be located on land between Kergord and a planned large 2GW northern substation hub in the Sullom Voe/Scatsta area.
Meanwhile a second substation could be built north of Kergord.
One of the more thorny topics were possible steel lattice-like pylons which are under consideration between Kergord and the Sullom Voe/Scatsta area.
There is already a converter station at Upper Kergord, as well as a substation for the Viking wind farm.
Kelly said a second station – which would be around the same size as the existing one in Kergord – would allow voltage to step up from 132kV to 220kV.
