Consultation

Public consultation

We'd like to thank everyone who took part in the consultation and provided feedback.

While the consultation has closed, the project teams will continue to engage with stakeholders and the community as the two projects are developed.

In the autumn 2024 consultation, we asked for your feedback on the preferred routes, and draft alignments including indicative wood pole positions for both the Aberedw and Bryn Gilwern Grid Connections, along with any other factors you would like us to consider.

Next steps

All feedback received will be reviewed, recorded and carefully considered as the projects progress.

We'll use your feedback to review the decisions we've made to date and to inform our work going forward. We'll also be undertaking surveys in the area to understand more about the local environment.

Our next steps will be to develop a more detailed design and alignment for the new overhead line connections, including finalising locations for the wood poles and any temporary infrastructure that may be required, such as access roads and construction lay-down areas.

We'll then carry out detailed technical and environmental studies and plan to hold a statutory public consultation on the two separate projects in 2026. We'll publish a report summarising feedback from this non-statutory consultation and how it influenced our proposals. This will support the next public consultation, when people can provide input on the detailed route alignment, including locations for the wooden poles, access routes and working areas.
