SSEN Transmission starts construction on Lewis hub in the Western Isles
SSEN Transmission has started construction on the Lewis Hub, part of its programme to build the first direct electricity transmission connection between the Western Isles and mainland Great Britain.
The Lewis Hub forms one element of the wider connection effort. The source report does not give details of the project's cost, capacity, contractors or completion date.
Why it matters to UK industry
Transmission projects of this kind typically involve substantial civil, electrical and fabrication work, so progress on the ground is of interest to engineering firms and suppliers working in grid infrastructure. Further information on the scope and timetable is expected to be needed before suppliers can gauge any opportunities.
