The substation will be used to facilitate the transfer of electricity from the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm in North Wales to the National Grid.
It will be located at Bodelwyddan, south of the St Asaph Business Park in Denbighshire, where it will receive electricity from an 11km cable running inland from Rhyl.

The Burbo Bank Extension Offshore Wind Farm is located 8km off the UK coast in Liverpool Bay and is capable of generating up to 258MW of clean energy to power approximately 180,000 homes.
The scheme includes the construction of buildings and compounds, the installation of low voltage electricity equipment, low voltage cables, communication cables, roads, paths, drainage and landscaping, and the facilitation and supervision of the installation of high voltage components and cabling.
Balfour Beatty's regional construction business will deliver the structures and external works with Balfour Beatty Engineering Services providing the mechanical and electrical package.
