Weston Marsh to East LeicestershireElectric Lines · A new circa 60 kilometre 400kV overhead electricity transmission line which connects into the Weston Marsh substation infrastructure (to be constructed under the Grimsby to Walpole Project), in the Spalding region of Lincolnshire, and runs west to a new 400kV transmission substation (WMEL-B) near Wartnaby in Leicestershire, via a new 400kV transmission substation (WMEL-A) near Corby Glen in Lincolnshire.
The Project also includes reconductoring of approximately 66 kilometres of existing transmission infrastructure from the new WMEL-B substation, running south to the existing Grendon substation, east of Northampton.
