The installed capacity of the proposed generating station would be up to 99.4MW, comprising 14 wind turbines with a ground to blade tip height of 200 metres. The proposal is subject to Environmental Impact Assessment.

Energiekontor UK Ltd has now submitted additional information to Scottish Ministers, which includes information relating to peat disturbance and aviation lighting.

Copies of the additional information and the application (‘the information’) are available for public inspection in person, free of charge, during normal office hours at:

The information can also be viewed on the application website at www.energiekontor.co.uk/our-projects/craiginmoddie, the Scottish Government Energy Consents website at www.energyconsents.scot under application number ECU00002196, or the Scottish Government Planning and Environmental Appeals Division website at www.dpea.scotland.gov.uk under case reference WIN-370-4.

Copies of the information may be obtained from Energiekontor UK Ltd (telephone: 07780 471899 / email: Michael.briggs@energiekontor.com) for a charge of £100 for a hard copy and £15 on CD. Copies of a short non-technical summary are available free of charge.

Any representations to the application may be submitted by email to the Scottish Government Planning and Environmental Appeals Division mailbox at DPEA@gov.scot, or by post to Planning and Environmental Appeals Division, Ground Floor, Hadrian House, Callendar Business Park, Callendar Road, Falkirk, FK1 1XR, identifying the proposal and specifying the grounds for representation.

Representations should be dated, clearly stating the name (in block capitals), and full return email and postal address of those making representations. Only representations sent by email to DPEA@gov.scot will receive acknowledgement.

All representations should be received not later than 3 March 2023, although Ministers may consider representations received after this date.

Any subsequent additional information which is submitted by the developer will be subject to further public notice in this manner, and representations to such information will be accepted as per this notice.

As a result of a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority, or where Scottish Ministers decide to exercise their discretion to do so, Scottish Ministers can also cause a Public Local Inquiry (PLI) to be held.

Following examination of the environmental information and all views and representations received, Scottish Ministers will determine this application for consent in one of two ways:

· Consent the proposal, with or without conditions attached; or

· Reject the proposal

All previous representations received in relation to this development remain valid.
