Blarghour Wind Farm Connection Project

We are pleased to be holding an overhead line (OHL) routeing public consultation event to gain views and feedback on our routeing options for our Blarghour Wind Farm Connection Project.

Consultation events were held previously for this project back in 2022 and 2023 however, following ground investigation works undertaken after our 2023 consultation the previously identified preferred route could not be delivered as planned. Consequently, new route options have been developed, and we are now seeking your views on the newly identified potential route 3.

The consultation event will be taking place on:

Thursday 5 March 2026, 2–7pm
Loch Fyne Hotel, Shore Street, Inveraray, PA32 8XT

During our drop-in event you will be able to view further information about our proposals, meet the team, and ask questions. We encourage all members of the local community and all interested parties to attend the event.

Any comments made to us as the Applicant are not representations to Scottish Ministers as the decision makers. There will be opportunity to make formal representations to Scottish Ministers via the Energy Consents Unit following the submission of the section 37 application.

If you are unable to attend the public event all the material that will be on display will be available to be downloaded on the Project Documents section of the project webpage.

Please let us know if you require information in an adapted format such as paper copy, large print or braille and we will work with you to accommodate your preferences. We are happy to accommodate all reasonable requests for adapted communications.

We are committed to supporting the communities in the north of Scotland where we operate, both now and in the future. As part of our ongoing efforts to make a difference and have a positive impact on local communities, we are proud to offer volunteering days to local groups and charities, particularly in the areas that host our electricity infrastructure or where our proposed projects are located. 

This month, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new Volunteering Webpage, designed to make it easier for local communities to request volunteering support from us. To request our help, simply complete the ‘Volunteering Nomination Form’ linked at the bottom of our new webpage. Please note, as our team works on a voluntary basis, it may take us some time to coordinate our people and match them with opportunities. We kindly ask for your patience as we work to keep up with volunteering demand.

Thank you for considering SSEN Transmission as a partner in your community efforts. Together, we can leave a positive, lasting legacy and help transform communities across the north of Scotland.

SSEN Transmission would like to thank public stakeholders that took the time to come and share their views with us at our public consultation event.

SSEN Transmission held a public consultation event to gain views and feedback on our alignment selection for Blarghour Wind Farm Connection Project. Our Consultation period opened on the 17th of July and closed on the 18th of August. An in person event with the project team was held at;

 Wednesday 2nd August 2023 from 2pm - 7pm at: Loch Fyne Hotel,
Inveraray, Scotland,
PA32 8XT

This was an open door drop-in session, and allowed for feedback to be given to the project team on our proposals. The consultation event allowed for presentation of key project information and plans, as well as provided the opportunity for public stakeholders to ask questions directly to the project team.
