EDF Renewables UK intends to submit a formal application for the 108MW Dunside wind farm to the Scottish Government later this month.
The final proposal for the project located close to the existing Fallago Rig development in the Lammermuir Hills is for a maximum of 15 turbines with tip heights of up to 220m.
The layout of the wind farm has been refined and reflects environmental survey information and landscape design work as well as feedback from public exhibitions and stakeholder consultations carried out throughout 2022, EDF said.
Dunside, once completed, will generate around 108MW of low carbon electricity – enough to power up to 62,600 homes – along with significant funds to be invested in communities and projects in the local communities surrounding the wind farm area, it added.
Ahead of the application, EDF Renewables UK will be holding three public exhibitions in community halls in the Scottish Borders and East Lothian over the coming weeks.
The events will provide information about the final designs, environmental surveys and assessments and will include drawings and visualisations of how the wind farm will look if the project progresses.
Development project manager at EDF Renewables UK Richard Fisher said: “As we reach the application submission, community engagement is one of our top priorities.
“Our aim, over the last two years, has been to engage with and listen to the concerns of local residents and stakeholders.
“This final round of public consultations is a further opportunity for anyone who has an interest in the development to find out about the potential benefits Dunside wind farm could bring to the surrounding communities and the boost it could give to the local economies.”
