The project includes the installation of the cabling and overhead line connections to the national grid and design of the switchgear - the circuit board used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment - into an effective and accessible design for the substation.
This latest contract award builds on Balfour Beatty's 12-year collaborative relationship with National Grid.
Works are due to commence this summer with completion scheduled for winter 2023.
