Project Description
This West Galway 110/38kV substation project (known as Uggool substation) is to facilitate the connection of renewable energy, which will be generated from Galway Wind Park and other wind farms located west of the N59 between Moycullen and Oughterard, to the transmission system. The Uggool substation will connect to the Knockranny 110kV substation.
The Knockranny substation will be connected to the transmission system via a loop-in of the recently constructed Salthill to Screebe 110kV overhead line and a future 110kV UGC between Knockranny substation and Galway 110kV substation.
