Beauly-Denny overhead project may serve as preview to Britain’s energy network plans

The village of Beauly, near Inverness, marks the starting point of what was once Britain’s largest and most controversial power grid project: a 137-mile electricity superhighway from the quiet Highlands village to a large substation in Denny near Falkirk.

The power line brings renewable energy generated by wind farms in the north to the electricity grids in Scotland’s central belt – but it also ignited a bitter feud between opposing green groups.
