The proposal, dubbed the Kintyre to Hunterston Reinforcement, is required to transport green energy from wind farms in Kintyre to the main electrical grid.

In order for local people to find out more about the electricity connection proposal, the Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) unit will be holding an exhibition, at which engineers will be able to explain the proposal and answer questions, on February 8, 2007.

In other recent news, SSE signed an agreement to partner with Viking Energy on a proposed wind farm project and sub-sea cable that would connect Shetland and the Scottish mainland.
