SCOTLAND, UNITED KINGDOM - SP Energy Networks, a subsidiary of Scottish Power, has received development consent from the UK government to strengthen the $21.4 million (£18 million) North Shropshire electricity network.

The project involves the construction of 14 miles of new 132 kV network from Oswestry substation, which is located at the A5/A495 roundabout, to Wem substation, located on Ellesmere Road on the western side of Wem.

The effort will provide new homes and businesses in North Shropshire with additional capacity to the electricity network.

The project is planned to be commissioned by summer 2022.
