Watchdog to monitor ‘proliferation’ of Borders wind farms

Published by SAS Volunteer on

A WATCHDOG has been formed amid claims the Borders has become a “lucrative target” for wind farm developers.

It is believed there are 23 significant schemes, involving 616 turbines, now in operation in the region, according to the latest council data.

The figures state that there are two others under construction and another 17 at various stages within the planning system.

Borders Wind Farm Watch is a cross-community initiative which monitors wind farm development in the region.  https://www.peeblesshirenews.com/news/24387594.watchdog-monitor-proliferation-borders-wind-farms/
