From memory, looking at the National Grid Transmission Charging DCLF model, the monetised cost of building and then maintaining a section of underground cable is about 20 times the cost of over head cables.
This would take the cost of Buely Denny from an estimate of £350m to £7bn.
For the cost of the wiring for a couple of wind farms we could (if we thought it prudent) put 1 or 2 1.6GW nukes in the Central Belt
