ABB has successfully energised and transferred to National Grid the sixteenth and final outgoing circuit of the 132kV substation
The new 132kV Norton substation, near Stockton on Tees, is not only one of the first to be constructed by a DNO (Distribution Network Operator) under new regulations, it is also one of the most important projects ever undertaken by NEDL.
ABB has successfully energised and transferred to National Grid the sixteenth and final outgoing circuit of the 132kV substation. This means that all the major works have been completed in just over two years since ground was broken on the £9 million project in April 2003. ABB is now completing the work by removing the old AIS (air insulated switchgear) substation to make room for the next phase, the construction of a new 11kV substation.
