![]() ![]() It reported that almost 90% of that was paid out over the past two years as market energy prices rocketed due to the war in Ukraine and households struggled to keep up with the soaring cost of electricity. ![]() An analysis by Bloomberg claims some power plants have received £525m in extra revenue from using the “off-on manoeuvre” between 20. The balancing payments, which are passed on to consumers in the form of higher bills, add up to millions of pounds.

The T-pylons that have been energised are located between Bridgwater and Loxton in Somerset. Construction started in September 2021 and National Grid has now energised 36 out of a total of 116 T-Pylons that will go live for the new electricity connection. National Grid says that the new design will reduce the electricity infrastructure’s visual impact.īalfour Beatty was awarded the contract to construct all of the new pylons supply, install and commission the new overhead line. T-pylons comprise a tubular steel shaft and two crossarms, which gives the structures their eponymous shape. They are shorter than the equivalent lattice ones – 35m compared to 48m – and their footprint is 10m 2, significantly lower than the lattice pylons’ 70m 2 footprint spread over the four legs. The design of the T-pylons has stark differences to the one of lattice pylon. This is the first time globally that this pylon type, designed by Danish firm Bystrup, is being used and it is the first major UK pylon redesign since 1927. It involves the creation of a 57km long, high-voltage electricity connection between Bridgwater and Seabank near Avonmouth in the South West of England.įor the majority of the route 400,000kV overhead lines will be passing through a new type of electricity pylons - T-pylons - instead of the traditional lattice ones. The Hinkley Connection Project aims to connect 6M homes and businesses with EDF’s 3.26GW Hinkley Point C nuclear power station and the existing Hinkley Point B. The first tranche of the innovative T-shaped electricity pylons (T-pylons) installed by National Grid as part of the Hinkley Connection Project has been put into operation. ![]()
