John Lamont MP has submitted a response to the Cross Border Connection Project consultation to say he is "completely opposed" to it going ahead.
The mega-pylon project would see the installation of approximately 75km of new overhead power lines from Newcastleton to a substation north of Gala and another around Whitrope.
The local MP raised several serious concerns with the project, including its impact on local homeowners, tourism, agricultural land, and the countryside.
John Lamont MP previously held a public meeting alongside representatives from Scottish Power Energy Networks, who are leading the project.
Scottish Borders MP, John Lamont, said: "I am completely opposed to the mega-pylon project because it would damage local communities and our countryside.
"There are many potentially negative consequences that could arise if the project goes ahead.
"The proximity of pylons to homes could impact the quality of life for many local residents.
"Our countryside could be scarred, which would damage tourism, leave businesses out of pocket, and risk the environment.
"Agricultural land could suffer, which could affect farms and reduce the amount of produce made here in the Borders.
"Instead of so many kilometres of overhead wires, I believe it must be considered if cabling can be placed underground.
"I have listened to the views of local people on this project and I believe SP Energy Networks must now do the same."
