REGULATIONS 2000

Notice is hereby given that EDF Energy Renewables Limited, 40 Grosvenor
Place, London, SW1X 7EN (Registration Number: 2366852) has applied to the
Scottish Ministers for consent to construct and operate Corriemoillie Wind
Farm, approximately 7km northwest of Garve in Ross and Cromarty East,
Highland (Central Grid Reference E343671, N234359). The installed capacity
of the proposed generating station would be 60.8 MW comprising 19 turbines
with a ground to blade tip height of 125 metres.

Planning permission for 19 turbines on the above site was granted by The
Highland Council on 21 April 2011. EDF Energy Renewables propose to install
19 turbines of the same blade tip height in the locations on the site
permitted by the planning permission. The proposed turbines have a greater
generating capacity and consent is therefore required from the Scottish
Ministers under the Electricity Act 1989.

For these reasons as further explained in the application documentation,
EDF Energy Renewables Limited is not seeking a direction for deemed
planning permission under s57(2) of the Town and Country Planning
(Scotland) Act 1997. It is open to Scottish Ministers to direct that deemed
planning permission be granted.
A copy of the application, with a plan showing the land to which it
relates, together with a copy of the Environmental Statement discussing the
Company’s proposals in more detail and presenting an analysis of the
environmental implications, are available for inspection, free of charge,
during normal office hours at:
Garve Village Hall, Station Road, Garve, Ross-shire, IV23 2PS. Monday to
Friday 9am to 5pm.

to Friday 9.30am to 4.30pm.
The Environmental Statement can also be viewed at the Scottish Government
Library at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh, EH6 6QQ.

Renewables (tel: 0191 501 4021 at a charge of £540 (plus P&P) for a hard

When initial comments from statutory consultees are received further public
notices will give advice on how this information may be viewed by members
of the public, and how representations may be made to Scottish Ministers.
During the consideration of the proposal, Scottish Ministers may formally
request further information to supplement the Environmental Statement and
this will also be advertised in such a manner.

As a result of a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority,
or where Scottish Ministers decide to exercise their discretion to do so,
Scottish Ministers can also cause a Public Local Inquiry (PLI) to be held.

Scottish Ministers will determine the application for consent in two ways:
? Consent the proposal, with or without conditions attached; or

? Reject the proposal
