These documents are partly to update previous data but also in an attempt to show the amount of capacity that is now being proposed by developers on S36 schemes. On several schemes there are proposals for battery energy storage so some schemes appear twice in some lists.
Some of the very large schemes have been reduced in scale since the application was lodged. For instance Scoop Hill has reduced turbines numbers by 20% so the huge capacity will have been reduced by a similar percentage but I’ve retained the original figures. The same scenario is likely on Teviot.
I calculate that the 63 live applications schemes (covering 2020-2024) propose capacity totalling 7711 MW an average of 122MW.
The documents attached are all based on the entries on the ECU website and present the same information in different ways.
1. APPLICATIONS LISTED BY COUNCIL AREAS.
This shows where most of “the action” is currently taking place. Highland leads the way but Dumfries and Galloway has a huge number which they’ve been struggling to deal with.
2. APPLICATIONS LISTED BY CAPACITY
I have listed schemes in bands. About half the applications have proposed schemes under 100 MW.
3. APPLICATIONS BY CAPACITY CHRONOLOGICALLY WITH YEARLY AND OVERALL TOTALS
This lists schemes in the order they were lodged with yearly and overall totals for schemes and capacity proposed.
I also attach updated spreadsheets for schemes at the scoping and application stage. They include data from the Western Isles which didn’t feature earlier. I have always said these figures may not be 100% reliable.
