Scottish Government Reporter will visit large areas of East Lothian countryside which have been earmarked for compulsory sale to a windfarm operator as part of an investigation into the bid.
The proposals by SSE Renewables could see one of the world’s biggest windfarms bring energy onto land near Skateraw, on the east of the county coastline.
But the energy giant’s plans to force the sale of land to them face opposition from the operators of Torness Nuclear Power Station, Network Rail, Scottish Powers and private land owners. The wind farm has asked Scottish Ministers to approve the Compulsory Purchase Order to allow them to acquire the rights and land to “construct, operate and remove electricity transmission lines, plant and ancillary infrastructure between Mean Low Water Springs at Skateraw and the Grid Connection Point at Branxton”.https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/…/site-visit-east…
