What changed

National Grid Electricity Transmission signed a deal last week to buy more than 70 acres at Dorman Point on the Teesworks site for a new substation, Sky News reports, and National Grid confirmed the land agreement in a weekend statement. Its project page says the 400 kV substation is contracted to provide over 1 GW of capacity for a proposed private-wire network serving a new data centre and a battery storage site, with an outline planning application submitted in September 2026 and land remediation and construction planned from autumn or winter 2027, pending approvals. Unnamed sources told Sky News the neighbouring data centre was likely to be the largest in Europe and that Balfour Beatty was in line to build the substation. These points are reported, not confirmed.
