Ofgem has withdrawn support for a pylon removal scheme in the Cotswold area, stating it is a waste of public funds. The proposal was put forward by National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET). Ofgem stated that option two would replace the full route with an uprated overhead line by 2029 at an estimated cost of £155.39m. The third option involved replacing 90% of the route underground.
