What was the statement of need for the new NGED primary substation?
The City of Newport is currently fed by three substations at Newport South, Newport East and Newport West which together supply in the region of 47,500 customers.
There is currently minimal demand headroom at the existing BSP substations with the majority of spare capacity already secured by contracted demand and committed developments.
The electrical demand across Newport City is expected to grow in the coming years predominantly due to the UK Government’s 2050 net zero target, which will drive significant growth in low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles, heat pumps and hydrogen gas production.
To accommodate this demand growth across Newport City Centre and prevent the distribution network becoming a ‘blocker’ to the connection of low carbon technologies, it is necessary to establish a new 33/11kV Primary Substation.
What recommendations did you make in your development appraisal for NGED?
Make a recommendation on a site in Alexandra Dock.
Surveys and report proposed by planning consultant for a planning submission:
● Planning statement
● PEA
● Substation design
● Highways design
● Drainage strategy
● Landscape design
● Arboricultural impact assessment
● Flood consequent assessment
Proposed stakeholder consultation:
● LPA
● NRW
