Data Insights: National Grid Underground Cables
OVERVIEW:
The ability to identify National Grid Underground Cables locations early on in the assessment process both mitigates risk and supports opportunity. In knowing where a cable may exist, steps can be proactively taken to avoid it during site suitability studies and any subsequent planning. Equally, for those who are looking for possible connections to the grid this location information can be a valuable asset.
The benefits of the data further extend out into scenario analysis such as cable routing options for renewables, as it is sometimes preferable to use existing routes rather than dig up new land.
WHAT DATASETS HAVE BEEN ADDED / UPDATED?
National Grid provides Underground Cables for all NGED areas with reference to the 11KV, 33KV, 66KV and 132KV network.
Total data: 772541
WHY HAVE THESE DATA BEEN ADDED?
These data represent another important piece of our utilities dataset puzzle. Along with our existing data for pylons, overhead lines, substations, and masts we believe that LandHawk now offers the most comprehensive utilities dataset within the land sourcing community.
WHO WILL BENEFIT?
As with most datasets accessed through LandHawk, all users will have full access to these new National Grid Underground Cables Data.
FURTHER DETAIL ABOUT THIS DATA
These data work alongside our National Grid substations and DNO substations layers in particular. For a brief introduction to where to find the data in the LandHawk platform please visit our video tutorials page.
HOW OFTEN ARE THE DATA UPDATED?
The data is updated annually.
