A Summary of Project Progress
Over February and March 2024 we held a second round of public exhibitions, online and in person. The in-person events where held in Tweedsmuir and Brougton.
We presented our revised plans which, consider up to 7 turbines up to 200m. You can view the exhibition materials in Project Documents. The revisions have been made following feedback from communities at our first events (March 2023) and completion of onsite studies.
We would like to thank everyone who made it along to the event and provided feedback. We are aiming to submit a planning application in Summer 2024.
The project was introduced when we submitted a Scoping Request to the Scottish Government at the end of 2022 to consider the potential for up to 10 turbines, with a maximum blade tip height of up to 250m and an installed capacity of up to 66MW.
We held our first public exhibitions in early 2023. You can view the exhibition brochure in the Project Documents section.
