Overview

National Grid is developing plans to build a new electricity substation (‘Uxbridge Moor’) on land bordering our existing substation in Iver.

This is needed to connect several customers to our electricity network to the west of London.

The national electricity network has recently seen a significant increase in demand for electricity. In the Iver area a large number of organisations have requested new power connections from National Grid and, as a regulated business, we have a legal obligation to meet these requests. The Uxbridge Moor substation will help us do that.

Thank you to those who have been part of our public consultation on the proposals, which closed on 6 October.  

Since the consultation we have reviewed and considered all the feedback we received, and this informed the final application submitted to the local planning authority, Buckinghamshire Council, earlier this year.  Full details of the community feedback received and our responses to it is available to view as part of our Statement of Community Involvement submitted with the application.  The planning applications have been validated by the council and allocated reference PL/24/0449/FA.  Further details and associated documents are all available on the Council’s website.
