In January 2016, the Creag Riabhach wind farm developer was granted permission by the Scottish Ministers to build a up to 22 turbines with a potential installed capacity of up to 72.6 Megawatts (MW). Under our licence obligations we must provide new sources of electricity generation with a connection to the national electricity grid. As such we are obliged to offer the Creag Riabhach wind farm developer a connection to our electricity transmission network.
The proposed Creag Riabhach wind farm grid connection consists of approximately 22 km of 132 kV overhead line supported by double trident H wood pole structures between a substation at Creag Riabhach Wind Farm and Dalchork substation, which is due to commence construction in summer 2020 under a separate project. Our current project programme indicates commencement of construction in July 2021 with completion in June 2022 to meet contracted connection dates.
On 9 March 2020 we submitted an application to Scottish Ministers for consent under section 37 of the Electricity Act 1989 for the grid connection for Creag Riabhach wind farm. We have been working closely with the Energy Consents Unit to ensure that, during the COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the UK and Scottish Governments, the application can be processed formally and in accordance with all relevant Regulations.
We will be issuing public notices advertising the consent application on or just after the first week of June 2020 in the Press and Journal, Northern Times and Edinburgh Gazette. A copy of the public notice is also published on this website.
Any representations to the application may be submitted via the Energy Consents Unit website at www.energyconsents.scot/Register.aspx; by email to the Scottish Government, Energy Consents Unit mailbox at representations@gov.scot; or by post 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. Please note that there may be a delay in the Energy Consents Unit receiving representations by post.
