A £15 million electricity substation modernisation project is taking shape in the north of Glasgow.

Work at Lambhill Substation involves extending the west side of the facility to allow the reconfiguration of the layout along with the demolition and replacement of ageing equipment. New equipment will be installed to meet the needs of SP Energy Networks' distribution network across Central and Southern Scotland.

The project is now on scheduled to be completed in late 2017, months ahead of the original 2018 completion date.

Martin Young, Programme Manager at SP Energy Networks Major Projects, said: "The changes at this key transmission substation will ensure the safe and secure supply of electricity well into the future.

"We are grateful to the local residents and community for their patience and understanding during the ongoing work and we're committed to maintaining and improving the electricity network for everyone in Central and Southern Scotland."
