Scottish Highlands to be blighted by hundreds of 190ft net zero pylons – Telegraph

Published by SAS Volunteer on

The ancient Highland village of Beauly is at the centre of SSE’s plans
Hundreds of giant “super pylons” are to be built across the Scottish Highlands as part of net zero plans.
Power company SSE has said it will imminently submit a planning application for 550 190ft pylons in the Scottish wilds, arguing they are vital to the UK’s plans to decarbonise its electricity system.
The pylons will carry six 400,000-volt cables from the ancient Highland village of Beauly to Peterhead on the east coast for transmission down to England. The line will help connect remote Scottish wind farms to English cities. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/09/16/scottish-highlands-blighted-hundreds-of-pylons/?fbclid=IwY2xjawM2n4NleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHsmmhAC5fHS9vQNQx2Znu_8oSRMoBaegxvD4a6LlNzmJcqgcMZo4ltckSKSW_aem_wgdoLx4PxfYwNbJ3C-ohgg
