| Work Detail |
Up to 22 turbines planned at site in Sutherland Fred Olsen Renewables has launched proposals to develop a 158MW wind farm with a battery in Scotland. The Invercassley project will consist of up to 22 turbines up to 230 metres high and 30MW of battery storage. The proposed site would create a community benefit fund of more than £25m (index linked) during the lifetime of the project. It will be located five km north-west of Rosehall, Sutherland. The local community is invited to take part in forthcoming consultation process and have their say on the proposal with the first events to take place 24 and 25 February. Representatives will also be on hand to answer questions and gather feedback on the plans. Laura Bell, project manager at Fred Olsen Renewables, said: “We are excited to launch our proposals to develop Invercassley Wind Farm and start a conversation with the local community. “This project has the potential to make a significant contribution to Scotland’s net zero targets – delivering over 158MW of clean electricity and providing a substantial community benefit fund. “This is the beginning of our consultation process, and we look forward to speaking with residents and community groups about our plans, sharing ideas and gathering feedback. “We encourage everyone to take part or get in touch to have their questions answered.” |
