Introducing the ‘Substations of the Future’ competition

Could tomorrow’s substation or converter station be functional, beautiful, and sustainable? Share your vision with us!

As an energy industry, it is now a given that we must leave the environment around critical infrastructure in an equivalent or better state to the one in which we found it. However, we can do more, we will do better, and we need your help to explore how we can achieve both an improved major infrastructure system and an enhanced environment.

The ‘Substations of the Future’ competition has been launched by Hitachi Energy in the UK alongside judging partners National Grid, SSE, and UK Power Networks, to stimulate fresh thinking about the role of energy infrastructure in our natural environment.

Our competition invites entrants to apply diversity of thought and perception to a substation or converter station, considering how such infrastructure can be functional, beautiful, and sustainable at the same time. How could such a structure exist in consort with its environment and add to the ecosystem, not detracting from it?

There are endless options to consider, from restoring habitats for wildlife whilst disguising the visual impact of the substation or maybe it could be providing a system for enhanced soil stability whilst reducing the noise impact of a transformer?

We would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and designs.

How to get involved?
