Corby Glen will be the host of a substation to be built. The build is scheduled for 2029. Lincolnshire is being targeted and more pylons = more solar and wind farms.

- Questions or Points raised by residents and members of the public. A resident pointed out that the connection to the Londonthorpe (distribution) substation was approved in 2024 and Glebe Farm Solar Ltd was also registered in 2024. A further resident asked if there was any way that the Council could get to know about applications any earlier. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
