RES is in the early stages of exploring the potential for a 21-turbine wind farm and energy storage facility located approximately 9km north of Lauder in the Scottish Borders.
The developer is holding two public exhibitions in the local area next week to enable people to learn more about the development, discuss any questions with the project team, and provide feedback on the initial design.
There will be a range of information at the exhibitions, including visualisations to help give an impression of what the current site design and layout could look like from different viewpoints in the area.
Development project manager at RES Gavin Shirley said: “We look forward to speaking to people about our plans for Longcroft Wind Farm.
“We welcome constructive feedback on the layout and delivery of the project which has the potential to change and influence the design.
“In addition to people’s comments on the proposal itself, we would also like to hear ideas for how the wind farm could help to secure other long-term economic, social and environmental benefits during its operation.
“This would help us to deliver a tailored community benefits package aligned with the communities’ priorities.
“This could include RES’ Local Electricity Discount Scheme which offers an annual discount to the electricity bills of those properties closest to the wind farm.”
The wind farm proposal first became public in March 2023 when RES submitted a Scoping Report to the Scottish government’s Energy Consents Unit seeking feedback from key consultees on the proposed scope of environmental work.
