The texas hold 'em poker (VIP) project represents a major opportunity to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife, and environmental heritage within our most protected landscapes.
The project is making use of a £465m provision by Ofgem to carry out work that reduced the impact of existing transmission lines in English and Welsh Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) and National Parks.
At National Grid we are passionate about playing our part in conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the landscape.
The most important task for us is to use this provision to achieve the maximum enhancement to our nation’s precious landscapes while avoiding unacceptable environmental impacts.
To ensure that we get this right and maximise the potential of the texas hold 'em poker project, National Grid is working closely and collaboratively with stakeholders.

The VIP project’s national playing texas hold em is made up of senior representatives from organisations dedicated to conserving and enhancing the landscape throughout England and Wales.
The texas hold em poker is an important part of the VIP project. Championed by our stakeholders, the initiative aims to use up to £24m of the Ofgem provision for smaller visual improvement projects.
We have assessed 571km of our electricity transmission line in AONBs and National Parks to identify which sections have the highest visual impact on their surroundings.
Using input from technical experts, local stakeholders and communities, the playing texas hold em recommended priority schemes where replacing the overhead line with an underground connection could have a transformative effect on the landscape.
