Consisting of 60 turbines with tip heights ranging from 180m to 250m to tip, Scoop Hill Wind Farm will generate 432MW of clean, green electricity along with a 200MW battery storage facility. The development site is located approximately 5km south east of Moffat.
The proposed wind farm would contribute towards achieving Scotland’s renewable energy and climate change targets by producing enough electricity to power over 450,000 homes annually.
As directed by regulation 23(4) of the Electricity Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017, notice is hereby given that CWL Energy Ltd (“the Company”) has been refused consent by Scottish Ministers for the proposed Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm in Dumfries & Galloway, a 60-turbine development including battery storage with a capacity exceeding 50 MW.
Copies of the decision statement are available at www.energyconsents.scot
under reference ECU00000533 and via Dumfries & Galloway Council’s planning register.
Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm will provide community investment funding of £5,000 per MW per annum for the 40-year operational life of the wind farm. CWP ENERGY has already invested more than £19,000 to deliver sports sessions by Let’s Get Sporty to over 1,700 school children in Dumfries and Galloway, and over £10,000 to Annandale Community Transport Services (ACTS).
