The 16-turbine proposal, which lies halfway between Buckie and Keith, is due to go before Moray Council’s Planning and Regulatory Services Committee this week for their formal response before final determination by the Scottish Government next year. The scheme is predicted to deliver a £70 million boost for Moray and carries local Community Council support.
If consented, the redesigned scheme could deliver a £70 million economic boost to Moray including an £18.4m community benefit fund over the 35-year operational lifetime of the project, an estimated £5.8 million inward investment during construction, and £45.5 million in business rates to Moray Council. Furthermore, the project is predicted to deliver 57 temporary local jobs during construction as well as seven direct and 20-27 indirect local jobs over the scheme’s operational lifetime. https://www.northern-scot.co.uk/news/vattenfall-s-redesigned-aultmore-wind-farm-proposal-could-de-368990/?fbclid=IwY2xjawHNf11leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeZ0p1XvpbSfjhwXZs2ijnL2jSF31Cs3V3ULOWQ7jAskBRfgTfKHzeT-zg_aem_b0iNmOXtuAWZRhUxbGubXw
