North Humber to High Marnham is a proposed new 90 kilometre high voltage overhead line which would carry more power to homes and businesses.
As part of The Great Grid Upgrade, we are reinforcing the electricity network across East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. More electricity is being generated from renewable sources, often in different parts of the country from where it is used. To support the movement of electricity to where it is needed and meet future demand, the electricity network needs upgrading.
Our plans involve building a new overhead line between a substation just outside of Hull and a substation at High Marnham,near Newark. This will help to connect secure, cleaner and more affordable home-grown energy to where it is needed.
