Truncated 33kV power line? Doesn't go anywhere?

I don't know about a map, but googling for Castlebridge 33kW shows a spreadsheet at
Capacity Market Register 2021-22 (T-4) at
Which may or may not be related to

Damn, I think I included the word "feeder" and got nowhere.
I've driven past the entrance to that (in fact also today, on the way to the walk I mentioned above), it's had the land on sale for years. And that is indeed approximately where the line stops.
That power line doesn't look big enough to take power from a power station though, perhaps to feed the business park? How much power goes along those lines? I know it's 33kV 3 phase, but I don't know what the current is. All I can say is the underground part went through an approximately 3 inch diameter armoured cable, and the individual conductors look about half an inch thick (judging by a pigeon sat on one! I didn't let my parrot fly up to have a look incase it was live! Yes I was actually taking my parrot for a walk - on my shoulder, with a lead, amusing everyone else out walking!)
Whoops! Everyone trying to cash in on the renewable nonsense.

Yes, I needed a domain name quickly and looked out of the window.

The "connection capacity" in the spreadsheet says 29 MW.
A quick online calculor for 3-phase with a line-line V of 33kW give about 500 amps.
Uninsulated conductors in open air can run hot.

But it's not a real domain name.

It was when I registered it; I let it lapse. Googlegrousp hasn't noticed yet

You mean kV.
I guessed about that, as a limit, but on a long run a lot of power would be lost.
Yes but they lose a lot of energy.

Would they even check? You probably just need it to verify an email address when you sign up. Unless you need to be contacted by email for some reason, I doubt it'll matter. Just don't lose your password etc :-)

That's why the long runs are done with 330KV and 500KV etc.
