Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Mike Weir (Scottish National Party), on Thursday, 7 January 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 15 members in total.
BEAULY - DENNY POWER LINE
That this House welcomes the approval by the Scottish Government for the upgrade of the Beauly - Denny power line to harness, transmit and export Scottish renewable energy; notes that the upgrade will boost grid capacity along the line and unlock Scotland's onshore and offshore renewables potential; further welcomes the conditions set by Scottish Ministers to protect the interests of communities and minimise the impact on the environment along the line; and further notes that there are over 50 potential projects totalling around 4.2 gigawatts in the north of Scotland, two-thirds of peak Scottish demand, meaning that the Beauly - Denny upgrade will help unlock Scotland's renewable energy potential.
