The Cambushinnie 400kV Substation is a nationally significant energy infrastructure project forming a key element of SSEN Transmission’s Beauly to Denny upgrade, increasing the network from 275kV to 400kV operation to support the delivery of clean, renewable electricity across Scotland and the UK.

Located adjacent to the existing Braco West substation, the project is part of SSEN Transmission’s £22bn+ Pathway to 2030 investment programme, designed to strengthen energy security, enable offshore and onshore renewables, and accelerate progress toward Net Zero targets.
