Culture home Households and businesses face a £288m bill for the removal of 10 pylons in Snowdonia. National Grid plans to take down the pylons across the Dwyryd Estuary in the Snowdonia National Park, which have been widely criticised as a gross intrusion into one of Britain’s most celebrated landscapes. But removing them is controversial because of the cost involved. The £288m being spent on the project is well more than twice the combined budget of the the UK’s national park authorities and will be funded from customer bills. It has also annoyed the many anti-pylon groups in other areas that are protesting against National Grid’s simultaneous plans to erect 6,000 new pylons as part of its “Great Grid Upgrade”.
