Permission for a substation to harness the power of 36 offshore wind turbines has been granted by East Lothian Council.
Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, located 27km off the coast of Angus in the North Sea, will be Scotland’s largest, and the world’s deepest fixed-foundation, offshore wind farm.
Power from the turbines will be directed to the planned substation at the former Cockenzie Power Station site.
It will be located south of the B1348, opposite the Inch Cape substation development, which is on the coastal side of the former Cockenzie site.
The project is a £3bn joint venture between TotalEnergies and SSE Renewables
The substation proposals had been recommended for approval by East Lothian Council planning officers, subject to conditions, and had received no local representations against the plans. https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/23796119.cockenzie-green-light-given-onshore-substation-seagrass-1a/?fbclid=IwAR2b5jmAYBWfaZMqgWnoKs_Ein0FwtvGpW7_GqDjrgGgTW5fJidkv-QPV0U
