Section 180: Meaning of “high voltage line”

445.This section defines “high voltage line” in respect of offshore electric lines as such lines which are of a nominal voltage of 132 kilovolts or more. This is the same as the definition of high voltage lines in Scotland. The section does not change the definition of “high voltage line” in respect of onshore electric lines in Great Britain.
