Orkney Islands Council has called on the Scottish Government to make a planning decision on its Faray onshore wind project by October.
Leader of Orkney Island Council James Stockan has warned the delay to the final six-turbine, 28.8MW section of the Orkney Community Wind Farm is “jeopardising” the future of the complex as well as the interconnector needed to transmit power to the mainland.
Planning permission for the other phases, known as the Quanterness and Hoy projects, was granted in December last year.
The Scottish Government called in the Faray application in September 2021 but is yet to make a determination on the site. https://renews.biz/79747/orkney-wind-project-in-jeopardy-amid-planning-delay/
