Kinney Green: London Power Tunnels

Kinney Green has been appointed by National Grid to support the London Power Tunnels Project, Phase 2. The firm will identify and acquire land in South London, between Wimbledon and New Cross. As a result, the project will create a new electricity superhighway deep beneath the capital. It will increase capacity to meet London’s growing electricity demand.

The development requires tunnel drive sites, intermediate shafts, and head houses at key points along the route. These facilities ensure safety during construction. They also provide access for maintenance and store ventilation equipment. Kinney Green’s expertise in the London market allows them to advise on physical and viability constraints. Consequently, each site meets operational needs effectively.

In addition to land acquisition, Kinney Green identifies off-market opportunities for site assembly. This means that National Grid can secure strategic parcels efficiently. Moreover, by leveraging local knowledge and market insight, Kinney Green helps manage project risk and supports timely delivery of the London Power Tunnels Project.

Phase 2 highlights the growing complexity of London infrastructure. Furthermore, it will improve energy capacity, support new development, and strengthen the capital’s electricity supply. Kinney Green’s role shows how specialised real estate advice makes large technical projects feasible. In particular, they navigate regulatory and logistical challenges effectively.

By combining market knowledge, technical insight, and practical experience, Kinney Green delivers tailored solutions for high-stakes development projects. Therefore, their involvement ensures key sites are identified, acquired, and prepared efficiently. This contributes to one of London’s most ambitious infrastructure programmes: the London Power Tunnels.
