Global sustainable development consultancy Arup and infrastructure consultancy AECOM have been appointed to deliver management of the Environmental Impact Assessment work for National Grid’s Grimsby to Walpole upgrade project.
The upgrade project is a proposal to build a new high voltage overhead line in Lincolnshire, including new pylons and substations.
The connection will deliver increased capacity along the eastern side of England comprising a new 400 kV overhead transmission line between Grimsby West and the Walpole area; in addition to new 400 kV substations to integrate offshore capacity onto the national transmission system.
