Pylons – CPRE Norfolk Position Statement

The rapid increase of wind farms, particularly offshore, requires the transfer of energy into the National Grid. This is achieved through the use of pylons or underground power lines and the development of sub-stations.

CPRE Norfolk is campaigning for offshore grid connections or the undergrounding of all cabling in order to protect the countryside from the damaging visual impacts that result from the use of pylons and for the sensitive siting of sub-stations in Norfolk.
