Windfarm consultation

The Environmental Statement (ES) supporting the development marine license application for the 450MW Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm has been submitted to Marine Scotland.

It marked the start of a formal consultation period continuing for six weeks and due for this month.

Prepared by EMU Limited, working with developer Mainstream Renewable Power, the ES represents the culmination of three years’ worth of assessment and consultation effort for the project, which is approximately 15.5km east of Fife Ness and will comprise between 64 and 125 wind turbines.
