New electricity substation will switch on Snetterton

Work has been completed on a new primary electricity substation that is set to switch on businesses, jobs and opportunities in Snetterton business park situated by the A11.

The project received grant funding totalling £3.43M from New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP)'s Growth Deal with Government and Norfolk Business Rates Pool. We have delivered the power upgrade through a partnership with UK Power Networks and Morrison Energy Services.

The new substation has the capacity to deliver 18 megawatts of power which will enable new businesses to set up in the area. This will help deliver our long-term ambition for the site, creating 1,750 jobs and bring in £220m+ of private sector investment.
