Middleton sub-station under construction
This is a new 400kV sub-station to accommodate additional off-shore wind generation.
The temporary pylon is complete (just right of centre) and is now carrying one 400kV line, diverted from the redundant pylon at centre left.
Two more new pylons are being erected, one is behind the redundant pylon. These will carry the other 400kV line and connect to the new sub-station.
The first line will then be transferred across to the new pylons, allowing the temporary pylon to be dismantled.The 3 Heysham South wind turbines and a second pair of 400kV lines are in the background.
