The Eden – Carnmoney project is an upgrade to the electricity transmission system between Eden 110 kV Substation, near Carrickfergus, and Carnmoney 110 kV Substation in Newtownabbey. The electricity infrastructure in Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey is now over 80 years old. To meet the growing needs of residents and businesses in the local area, a significant upgrade of electricity infrastructure is necessary.
The map below represents the ‘study area’ for this project, which includes the existing grid between Eden Main Substation and Carnmoney Main Substation.The Eden – Carnmoney project has moved into Part 2a of SONI’s 3-part process for developing the grid.
At Part 2a, we are now moving forward with a preliminary preferred option which includes:
New sections of underground cable from Eden Substation to west of Carrickfergus
Refurbishment of existing 110 kV overhead line from west of Carrickfergus to Mossley
New high-capacity underground cable from Mossley to Carnmoney Substation
The de-energising and future removal of sections existing OHL circuit, as it currently runs between Mossley and Carnmoney, and from Eden to west of Carrickfergus
A new transformer at Glengormley Main 110 kV Substation
At this stage of the consultation, we are seeking feedback from the public to help shape the final proposal i.e. the location of the new underground cable. We know that no one knows an area better than those who live and work in it, which is why this feedback is so valuable.
