Scottish ministers approve plan for wind farm and battery storage site – The National

Published by SAS Volunteer on

THE Scottish Government has approved plans for a new wind farm and battery storage site.
Plans for the Knockkippen wind farm, outside the village of Patna in East Ayrshire, were approved by the SNP Government’s Energy Consents Unit on Wednesday.
Ministers took the decision in place of local authority East Ayrshire Council because the application was for an electricity generation site with a capacity above 50MW.
The wind farm will include 12 turbines on Knockkippen hill and Knockkippen moss, each with a maximum height of 180 metres. The approved plans also include a solar array, battery storage, and ancillary infrastructure.
