Wartnaby’s Substation and the Great Grid Upgrade | Leicester News

A major power upgrade is coming to Wartnaby and surrounding areas as National Grid rolls out ‘The Great Grid Upgrade’—a £1 billion project designed to future-proof Britain’s electricity network. With demand expected to double by 2050, the plan includes a new substation in Wartnaby, 60km of new overhead lines from Weston Marsh to Wartnaby, another substation near Corby Glen, and upgrades to 66km of existing lines. This isn’t just about avoiding blackouts—it’s also set to boost local jobs and economic growth. The eight-week public consultation ends November 3rd; residents can voice their opinions at nationalgrid.com/wmel or via email/phone. This is the biggest grid investment in a generation, paving the way for a more resilient, renewable-powered future.
