Robertson Civil Engineering completed the main civil works for the Whitehillock onshore substation in October 2023, working as civil engineering contractor for Siemens Energy. The £8.9 million contract scope included construction of the Voltage Source Converter (VSC) building, foundations and floor slab for the control and amenities building, installation of over 300 precast concrete equipment bases, electrical transformer bunds, site lighting, CCTV, security fencing, internal access roads, and landscaping. The substation steps up voltage from 220 kV to 400 kV, enabling the Moray West OFTO transmission assets to connect into the National Electricity Transmission System at the adjacent Blackhillock 400 kV substation.
