In this Schedule—
“electrical cables” means—
(a) cables of differing types and voltages installed for the purposes of conducting electricity, auxiliary cables, cables connecting to direct current (DC) boxes, earthing cables and optical fibre cables; and
(b) works associated with cable laying including jointing pits, hardstanding adjoining the jointing pits, combiner boxes, fibre bays, cable ducts, cable protection, joint protection, manholes, kiosks, marker posts, underground cable marker, tiles and tape, send and receive pits for horizontal directional drilling, trenching, lighting, earthing rods, and a pit or container to capture fluids associated with drilling;
“energy storage” means equipment used for the storage of electrical energy;
“inverter” means electrical equipment required to convert direct current power to alternating current;
“mounting structure” means a frame or rack made of galvanised steel, anodised aluminium or other material designed to support the solar panels and mounted on piles driven into the ground, helical piles or pillars fixed to a concrete foundation;
“National Grid High Marnham Substation” means the proposed substation at Fledborough Road, High Marnham, Nottinghamshire NG22 0UZ, owned and operated by NGET;
“permissive paths” means new paths providing restricted public access within the Order limits along the approximate routes shown on the outline landscape and ecology management plan;
“power conversion stations” means inverters, transformers and switch gear with monitoring and control systems housed in an enclosure or enclosures mounted on metal stilts pile driven into the ground or metal skids on concrete foundations;
“solar panel” means a solar photovoltaic panel or module designed to convert solar irradiance to electrical energy;
“substation” means a substation containing electrical equipment required to switch, transform, convert electricity and provide reactive power compensation on concrete slab foundations;
“switch gear” means a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment; and
“transformer” means a structure serving to transform electricity to a higher voltage.
