Bird charity may fight massive windfarm plan – Press and Journal

Published by SAS Volunteer on

By Laura Paterson

Plans to build the world’s third-biggest offshore windfarm in the Moray
Firth could be under threat from a bird protection charity.

RSPB Scotland is considering mounting a legal challenge after the Scottish
Government last week backed plans for two neighbouring projects off the
Caithness coast.

The windfarms by Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd (Morl) and Beatrice Offshore
Windfarm Ltd (Bowl) are expected to create more than 5,000 jobs and be able
to power more than a million homes – while boosting the Scottish economy by
£2.5billion.
