Proposed timeline

Next steps

Surveys and Environmental Assessments
In the coming months, we will continue undertaking the required surveys and environmental assessments. The findings, together with your feedback, will be considered as work progresses towards finalising the design for this project.

Pre-Application Consultation
We will present updated information and plans during our second round of public exhibition events prior to submitting an application for consent to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit (ECU) in Autumn 2025.

Construction and Operation
If consent is granted, it is anticipated that the construction of the project will take approximately 24 months. The operational date will depend on the grid connection offer. When the project is decommissioned at the end of its operational lifetime, all structures will be removed and the land will be restored.
