Gills Bay Exhibition Boards Proposed Gills Bay 132kV Project Background Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc (SHE Transmission) is the transmission licence holder in the north of Scotland and has a duty under Section 9 of the Electricity Act 1989 to facilitate competition in the generation and supply of electricity. The company also has obligations to offer non-discriminatory terms for connection to the transmission system, both for new generation and for new sources of electricity demand. In March 2010, the Crown Estate announced the successful companies that will develop marine generation in the Round 1 lease areas in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters. This includes a generation potential of up to 1600 MW (wave & tidal). Two tidal developers in the vicinity of Gills Bay KDYH DFFHSWHG 6+( 7UDQVPLVVLRQ¶V connection offers, phased between 2016 and 2018/19. System studies have established that this anticipated capacity exceeds that available via the existing network in the north of Scotland. There is also currently no transmission infrastructure in the Gills Bay area where some of the marine generation is to be located. As a result, SHE Transmission is proposing to construct a new 22km double circuit 132 kilovolt (kV) (1 kV = 1000 volts) overhead line (OHL) supported on lattice steel towers between a proposed new substation south of Thurso (Thurso South) and a new substation proposed at Philips Mains, south of Gills Bay (Gills Bay substation).

Horizons in Thurso, and The Highland Council Planning & Building Standards office in Wick. 1 Gills Bay 132kV Project Description The aim of the project is to provide electricity transmission infrastructure in the Gills Bay area where marine generation is to be located. The main elements of the project are as follows: Construction of a new double circuit 132 kV OHL (lattice steel tower) from the proposed Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS) Thurso South substation (currently being progressed via a different project) to the proposed Gills Bay Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation (c. 22km). Construction of a 132 kV / 33 kV GIS substation located at Phillips Mains Farm in the vicinity of Gills Bay. Connection of the new 132 kV OHL to the proposed AIS substation at Thurso South and the GIS substation at Phillips Mains Farm. Project Program Landscape in the vicinity of the Hill of Olrig The current programme for the Gills Bay Substation is shown below: Develop and compare substation sites options Complete Identify preferred substation sites Complete Undertake public exhibition for preferred substation sites Complete Submit Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) for substation site Early 2014 PAN Exhibition for Substation Town & Country Planning Application Early 2014 Complete Environmental Appraisal Summer 2014 Apply for Town and Country Planning consent Summer 2014 Start Construction Summer 2015 Phased completion and commissioning 2017 The current programme for the Gills Bay 132 kV Overhead Line is shown below: Develop and compare OHL route options Complete Identify preferred route for overhead lines Complete Publish consultation document on overhead lines Complete Undertake public exhibition for overhead line consultation Sept 2013 Refine the preferred route and select a proposed route Sept 2013 Complete Environmental Impact Assessment Summer 2014 Apply for Section 37 consent Summer 2014 Start Construction Summer 2015 Phased completion and commissioning 2017 Overhead Routing Study Process We have worked closely with a team of environmental consultants and overhead line engineers to identify a technically feasible, economically Project Overview Map viable, new transmission OHL which gives rise to: least disruption to the amenity of people living and working in the area; least impact on the physical and natural environment, and on nationally important species, habitats and cultural assets; least disruption to current land use and management practices; and least disruption to existing and proposed infrastructure. A number of route options were assessed (see opposite), taking into account the technical requirements to connect to the existing electricity network. A process of analysis and comparison of potential routes was then followed. The assessment has been based on: detailed baseline data on land use and environmental character and sensitivity, obtained from desk sources and site visits; identification of potential effects, to inform strategies for enhancing positive outcomes and for avoiding, reducing, controlling or offsetting potentially undesirable or significant negative outcomes; initial consultations with key stakeholders to inform the above and the subsequent refinement of the routing study and selection of the preferred route. The preferred overhead line alignment is route option 1A, which is shown in greater detail on Poster 5. The final proposed route will be determined after this detailed consultation and will be subject to an environmental impact assessment. The preferred route is considered to represent the optimum balance of technical, economic and environmental feasibility. The precise route alignment of the OHL and the location of individual towers will be determined following completion of ongoing detailed surveys to identify engineering, land use or environmental constraints which may require localised modifications to the route. 2 Gills Bay 132kV The Preferred Overhead Line Tower Design Three conductor support types were considered initially: 1. Lattice steel towers; 2. Twin Trident woodpole (Comprising two 132 kV OHL circuits supported on Trident woodpole supports, running in parallel along a single route alignment); or 3. Dual Trident woodpole (Comprising two 132 kV HL circuits support on Trident woodpole supports following different alignments between the two substations): Initial engineering and business case studies concluded that the dual Trident configuration did not present a feasible alternative. This configuration was therefore not considered further. Following environmental analysis, route Option 1A was identified as the most appropriate route option for either lattice or twin trident. A subsequent comparison was then completed of whether the preferred route could better accommodate lattice steel towers or twin Trident woodpoles. This analysis concluded that on balance of the considerations that lattice steel towers were the preferred option. The following table details indicative key design paramaters of each type of tower. Indicative Key Design Parameters Overhead Line Tower Options Single 132kV trident woodpole The above L7 132kV OHL lattice steel tower is indicative of the tower type proposed for the preferred route option. Construction High voltage OHL construction typically follows a standard sequence of events which are: complete pre-construction surveys, as required by a construction environmental management plan; establish access (including any necessary vegetation management); install tower foundations; assemble and erect towers; Indicative design of a single 132kV trident woodpole.

  • Buying Your Council Home
    Buying your council home Right to buy is ending for all tenants of social housing in Scotland on 1 August 2016. This is part of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014. Right to buy – the basics The right to buy rules can be difficult to understand. Some tenants do not have the right to buy at all. Others have a right to buy but cannot exercise it because it is suspended. You will have a preserved right to buy if you had a tenancy before 30 September 2002 and you have not moved home since. You will have a modernised right to buy if your tenancy began between 30 September 2002 and 1 March 2011. Even if you have a modernised right to buy this is suspended where you live in a Pressured Area. The whole Highland Council area has been designated as pressured, except for parts of Caithness. You can only buy if you live in Caithness except Thurso, Forss, Geise, Glengolly, Janetstown, Scrabster or Weydale. In most cases you will not have the right to buy if you became a tenant for the first time on or after 2 March 2011. Notice period The time before buy ends for all tenants is called the notice period. The notice period ends on 31 July 2016. If you are already able to exercise a right to buy, you can apply to do so up to 31 July 2016. Any application made after that date will not be accepted as there will no longer be a right to buy. As long as your application is submitted by the end of the notice period, it will be considered in the usual way.

  • Pentland Ferries – 25 March 2008
    Submission from Helen Whyte, Pentland Ferries – 25 March 2008 To whom it may concern, Pentland Ferries Ltd operate a ferry service from the Gills Bay, Caithness to St Margaret's Hope, Orkney. We would like to put the following points forward for the inquiry into ferry services in Scotland. Pentland Ferries Ltd is a privately owned company started in 1997 by the current managing director Andrew Banks, and has been operating a ferry service since May 2001. The company currently owns two vessels. The MV Claymore operates a daily service between Gill’s Bay and St Margaret’s Hope year round, running 3 trips each way per day in the winter and 4 per day in the summer. Pentland Ferries are currently one of only 2 Scottish ferry companies that receive no subsidy or other financial assistance. Whilst not designated the ‘lifeline’ service we carry a large percentage of the livestock transported to and from the islands, together with dangerous goods such as aviation fuel, which closed deck vessels cannot carry. Pentland Ferries second vessel, the Pentalina B, is out with Scotland on lease. As well as the two vessels detailed above, we are currently having a RoPax catamaran built in Cebu, in the Philippines by FBMA Marine. This vessel will be launched in April 2008. The new vessel will have 50% increase in capacity and will replace the MV Claymore on the Pentland Firth route as the demand over the summer months has now exceeded the capacity of the Claymore. The Catamarans structure consists of a steel hull with aluminium superstructure, which has a direct effect on economy and is environmentally friendly with the use of efficient turbo charged high speed diesel engines with low emissions.
