Scottish Power Energy Networks is proposing to construct a new 132kV substation on the A713 at Holm Hill, approximately 2.5km north-west of Carsphairn and 7.5 km south-east of Dalmellington.  

The proposed substation is needed to connect local wind farms to the electricity transmission network. This includes the Lorg Wind Farm and Quantans Hill Wind Farm. The development is currently at the design consultation stage with an application for planning permission to be prepared for submission to Dumfries and Galloway Council.
