Survey Closes 06 Dec 2026

National Grid has a long-standing commitment to the communities we work alongside, and we want to ensure lasting benefits for the people and places that host our infrastructure.


About the Blyth Substation project

We are planning essential upgrades to Blyth Substation, near East Sleekburn, to provide additional capacity on the electricity transmission network. The project will be delivered in two phases, involving an extension to the existing substation and the development of a new permanent substation on neighbouring land.

Help shape the Community Fund

As part of the project, we are proposing a Community Fund of up to £1.06 million to support local communities.

We want to hear from residents and community organisations about their priorities, where funding could make the greatest difference and how the Fund could deliver lasting benefits for the local area.

This survey is only about the Community Fund and should not be used to provide feedback on construction activity at Blyth Substation.

The survey is expected to take no longer than five minutes to complete, thank you for taking the time to share your views.

Please select one and provide details as appropriate e.g. name of organisation.

 If you can, please share examples of current projects in your area. 

This could include a priority that is not covered above or anything else you think is important to your community.

Where 'Please state below' applies, please use 'Other' box to provide further detail
