SONI is planning to bring forward the Cam Cluster Project – a new cluster substation between Limavady and Coleraine to be connected to both the Coolkeeragh – Limavady and the Coleraine – Limavady 110kV circuits.

NIE Networks’ cluster methodology aims to improve access to the network for renewable generation by grouping substations to create a more efficient connection with reduced environmental impact.

There are a number of approved renewable generation projects which have created the need for a new cluster substation in the Cam area. Plans for the new substation will also prepare for future growth in renewable generation as we decarbonise the electricity network.

The proposed project will include:

  • A new 110/33 kV transformer (with additional space for a future second transformer)
  • Nine 110 kV bays sufficient for five circuits, two transformers, two bus-couplers and additional space for future section switches
  • Turn in of both the existing Coolkeeragh – Coleraine and Limavady – Coleraine 110 kV circuits to the new Cam Cluster substation

At this stage of consultation, we are seeking feedback from the public to help shape the final proposal i.e. the location of the new cluster substation. 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.

There are many ways to get involved and provide feedback. These include:
