EDF Renewables UK is following its first round of exhibitions earlier this year with more public events in the Scottish Borders about the progress of plans for a new wind farm. The three exhibitions will take place in Longformacus, Gifford and Westruther.<\/p>\n
With a proposed location in the Lammermuir Hills, Dunside wind farm, once completed, could generate around 100MW of low carbon electricity alongside significant funds to be invested in projects throughout the Scottish Borders.<\/p>\n
The second round of public exhibitions will provide the latest information about the further design work and environmental investigations EDF Renewables UK has carried out since the first exhibitions.<\/p>\n
With drawings and visualisations at the events, visitors can find out about the environmental surveys and assessments which have been undertaken on the proposed site. Members of the project team from EDF Renewables UK will be on hand to answer any questions that visitors may have.<\/p>\n
Richard Fisher, Development Project Manager at EDF Renewables UK & Ireland, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really welcome feedback from the local community and hope that as many people as possible can attend one of these events. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBy listening to and incorporating local knowledge and perspectives into our proposed plans for Dunside wind farm, we can ensure that <\/em>the project will make a lasting and valuable contribution to the Scottish Borders. As with our previous public events, the comments and responses of all visitors are used to inform the next stage of our proposals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n EDF Renewables UK public exhibitions October 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n Tuesday 25th<\/sup> Oct. 3pm – 7pm:<\/strong> Longformacus Village Hall, Longformacus, Duns TD11 3PB<\/p>\n Wednesday 26th Oct.\u00a0 3pm – 7pm:<\/strong> Gifford Village Hall, Gifford, Haddington EH41 4QJ<\/p>\n Thursday 27th Oct. 3pm – 7pm:<\/strong> Westruther Village Hall, Westruther, Gordon TD3 6NE<\/p>\n Email:<\/strong> info@dunsidewindfarm.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
