National Grid energises substation for Hinkley connection
National Grid Electricity Transmission has energised its new Shurton substation in Somerset that will eventually connect the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant to the power grid.

Later this year it will begin supplying electricity to the site to support the construction of the power station.
