Beauly - Denny Power Line
EDM number 551 in 2009-10, proposed by Mike Weir on 07/01/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Renewable energy.
That this House welcomes the approval by the Scottish Government for the upgrade of the Beauly - Denny power line to harness, transmit and export Scottish renewable energy; notes that the upgrade will boost grid capacity along the line and unlock Scotland's onshore and offshore renewables potential; further welcomes the conditions set by Scottish Ministers to protect the interests of communities and minimise the impact on the environment along the line; and further notes that there are over 50 potential projects totalling around 4.2 gigawatts in the north of Scotland, two thirds of peak Scottish demand, meaning that the Beauly - Denny upgrade will help unlock Scotland's renewable energy potential.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
