Notice is hereby given that Galileo 05 Limited, (“the Company”) with company registration number SC761068, having its registered office at The East Suite, First Floor Office, Greenside House, Greenside Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3AA has applied to the Scottish Ministers for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct and operate Lynemore Wind Farm which is located within the Lynemore Estate, in the administrative area of The Highland Council, 2 km south-west of the A9 at Moy, approximately 10 km South of Inverness and 6 km northwest of Tomatin. The installed capacity of the proposed generating station would be over 50 MW, comprising 12 wind turbines, with a maximum tip height of 200 m, as well as a battery energy storage facility of up to 50 MW.

The proposed development is subject to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and an EIA Report has been produced.

The Company has also requested a direction under section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 that planning permission for the development be deemed to be granted.

The Company previously submitted Additional Information (AI) to Scottish Ministers in January 2026 which included information relating to the Project Description, Planning, Landscape and Visual Assessment, Ecology and Biodiversity, Ornithology, Hydrology, Geology and Peat, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, Traffic and Transport, Noise, Socioeconomics, and Other Considerations. Since the submission of this additional information the Court of Session issued its decision in Raeshaw Farms Limited v Scottish Ministers and Energiekontor [2026] (2026csih10-raeshaw-farms-limited-against-scottish-ministers-and-another.pdf). Scottish Minsters are currently considering the above application and, since this decision may have implications for Lynemore Wind Farm, further clarification on grid connection in the form of a grid connection appraisal report is now required to be provided and submitted as AI.

Copies of the AI submission (grid connection appraisal report) are available for public inspection and download, free of charge on the project website: https://lynemorewindfarm.co.uk/ or on the Scottish Government Energy Consents website at www.energyconsents.scot. Copies of the grid connection appraisal report is also available for public inspection during business hours at the offices of the local planning authority, The Highland Council, at Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, IV3 5NX; and during opening hours at:

• The Strathdearn Hub, Tomatin, Inverness IV13 7YN. (10 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday)

• Farr Community Hall, Inverarnie Park, Inverness IV2 6AX (9 am to 11.30 pm Monday to Friday, call to arrange viewing during the weekend)

For additional copies, a charge of £15 will be made for a full electronic copy of this Additional Information on memory stick (USB copy). Hard copies can be made available for a £500 charge.

Requests for copies should be made to the project team via email: lynemore@galileoempower.uk

All previous representations received by Scottish Ministers in relation to the application remain valid.

Any new representations on the application may be submitted via www.energyconsents.scot, using the relevant Project Name and/or ECU reference number - ECU0005105. Please note that you must be in possession of a working email address to submit a representation virtually.

If you would prefer to submit your representation by post, please send to the Scottish Government, Energy Consents Unit, 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay, 150 Broomielaw, Glasgow, G2 8LU, identifying the proposal and specifying the grounds for representation. Written representations should be dated, clearly stating the name (in block capitals) and full postal address of those making representations.

All representations should be received not later than 31 May 2026.

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.

Where Scottish Ministers are required to, or decide to exercise their discretion to do so, they can cause a public inquiry to be held.

Following examination of the environmental information, Scottish Ministers will determine the application for consent in one of two ways:

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

• Reject the proposal
