Power upgrade forBridge ofEarn
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks is to spend £1.7m on upgrading the electricity network between Bridge of Earn and Abernethy.
The Perth-based firm is reinforcing the electricity network by installing an underground cable to its network which will help meet demand for supplies in the growing communities.
Work is currently under way and should be complete by Friday, March 31.
The SSEN of the power firm says it will keep disruption to the local communities to a minimum. During the project SSEN might have to use temporary traffic management systems along the route or arrange alternative routes with necessary signage. SSEN will provide further updates and advanced warnings when they become available.
Graeme Stewart, from SSEN, said: “We’re investing in our network between Bridge of Earn and Abernethy to ensure our customers have the power they need and to prepare the network for future development. This is part of an ongoing commitment to deliver a more robust electricity network and improve the service we provide to our customers.
“The nature of the work means that there may be some disturbance to our communities, but our teams will aim to take every practical step possible to keep this disruption to a minimum. We will do everything we can to keep our customers informed of the works and any possible disruption to their local area.”
