Public Consultation

We want your views!

Scotland is a world leader in the fight against climate change

Our country has a target of Net Zero carbon emissions by 2045, with the UK aiming for Net Zero by 2050.

To help meet those targets, SP Energy Networks needs to provide connections to new clean energy producers so that they can be connected to Scotland’s electricity transmission network and the clean, green energy is transported from where it’s produced to where it’s needed.

The proposed development includes the installation of a new 132kV overhead line, connecting Millmoor Rig Wind Farm to the existing Hawick 132kV substation.

We have identified a ‘Preferred Route’ for the connection, and we would like to hear your views to help us develop our plans.

We are holding a public exhibition at

Hawick Town Hall on 26th August 2025

and Southdean Community Hall on

27th August 2025 between 2.30pm and 7pm,

where you can view our plans, talk to the project team and share your thoughts about the proposed development with them.
