Vista transmission project

Route Selection The Lucky Team is performing an evaluation of the study area between Taos and Springer substations to determine the potential routes for the transmission line. Our team started by using data from federal, state and local agencies, stakeholders and publicly-available data sources to create our study area.

Potential routes are developed with the intent to minimize impacts to residents, their land and the natural environment, while providing a technically viable and cost-effective route. Input received from residents, agencies, government officials and community organizations in the area will help us determine which of these routes should be selected for construction.

Structures for the Vista Trail Project will likely be a combination of steel monopoles and h-frame designs dependent upon the final route and design.

Enhancing designated landscapes VISTA represents an opportunity to reassess the historic electricity infrastructure within, and in some instances in close proximity to, National Parks and National Scenic Areas NSAs , and to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of these important Scottish landscapes. Working with stakeholders Right from the beginning of the VISTA project, stakeholder involvement in helping to shape the development of proposals was viewed as a vital part of the process.

Current proposals Informed by the stakeholder engagement and consultation conducted to date, a number of proposals have been considered by our engineering and environment teams. Current proposals. A total of 7. The removed towers will include the most prominent section above Killin and the Falls of Dochart, as well as those crossing the A The project will significantly reduce the quantity of electricity infrastructure in the Killin area.

Glen Falloch. Remove overhead line infrastructure from the Glen Falloch area, by installing underground cables in place of the current kV overhead line.

The project will initially examine a study area between Inverarnan substation and Crianlarich. The project will require the identification of a cable route, and sites for sealing-ends where the line will pass from overhead to underground.

Reduce the quantity of overhead line infrastructure within Glen Sloy and the Inveruglas area by installing underground cables in place of some of the current kV overhead lines. The project will initially examine a study area between Loch Sloy Dam and Inveruglas Power Station focusing on the parallel overhead lines running broadly east-west between them. The project will require the identification of cable routes, and sites for sealing-ends where the line will pass from overhead to underground.
