Kilgallioch风电场扩建项目

SPR has recently received planning consent from the Scottish Ministers for the Kilgallioch风电场扩建项目 Section 36 Application. 请参阅下面的“当前阶段”部分了解更多信息.

位置

Kilgallioch风电场扩展位于大约9.在柯克考恩西北5公里处的高地埃尔德里格, 位于Kilgallioch风电场东南部. The nearest community to the site is New Luce, approximately 7km north-east.

项目历史

SPR completed construction and began operating Kilgallioch 风farm in 2017 and have identified this area to the south of Kilgallioch 风farm as having excellent potential to be an extension to this site.

作为开发过程的一部分, 2018年在High Eldrig安装了桅杆, 这是在收集现场风力状况的数据.

A Scoping report was submitted to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consent Unit in April 2019.

苏格兰能源 Renewables (SPR) submitted a Section 36 (S36) Application to the Scottish Government in December 2019. A comprehensive suite of environmental surveys was undertaken including ecology, 考古, 水文, ornithology and access to inform the design of the proposed Development.

2020年12月, SPR提交了本申请的附录(AI1)以征求同意, 将之前提出的太阳能电池阵列从场地设计中移除. AI1从2021年1月到2月进行了广告和咨询.

2021年9月, following continued consultation with Historic Environment 苏格兰 (HES), SPR submitted a second Addendum (AI2) to this application for consent to remove two wind turbines (T1 and T11) from the site design. AI2 was advertised and consulted upon from September to November 2021.

目前的阶段

The Section 36 Application was consented by the Scottish Ministers on 08 December 2021. 有关裁定公告可在此浏览在这里.

Consent has been granted for 9 wind turbines with a maximum tip height of 180m and a generating capacity in excess of 50MW.

Further details of the project including electronic copies of the EIA Report document as well as the application and consultation process can be found using the links below.

社区协商

尽早磋商是特别战略资源开发项目的关键, and throughout the development process we have endeavoured to ensure local communities and stakeholders are given the opportunity to provide feedback and are kept informed of project progress. Public Information Days were held in June and August 2019 in Kirkcowan Village Hall. SPR has also met with local Community Councils to provide information in relation to the proposed Development.

附近有现成的场地, SPR has a history of working positively with communities within the region. We are keen to ensure that employment and the business skills required to maximise economic benefits can be delivered locally to ensure those who live near our sites benefit.

好处

特别方案资源将继续致力于促进当地就业, skills and inward investment and will actively engage with local communities and businesses. 仅在构建阶段, the proposed Development is expected to support over 145 jobs in 苏格兰 with approximately one fifth of these opportunities benefitting local residents.

Extending the operational Kilgallioch 风farm presents an opportunity to maximise the renewable generating capacity of the Site, and will help to meet 苏格兰’s improved carbon emissions targets (75% reduction by 2030 and ‘net zero’ by 2040, 比整个英国快5年).

网站的改进

The project includes a Habitat Management Plan which will implement positive land management for the benefit of landscape and nature conservation. 它将改善退化的沼泽栖息地, 再湿排水泥炭, 管理和控制本地和非本地物种. This is expected to have a positive impact on the overall site condition of the nearby River Bladnoch SAC and SSSI, 对生态学和鸟类学也有好处.
Archaeological features identified during site visits will be preserved and enhanced by improving access and publicising the cultural heritage resource.
Completion of an airborne Lidar survey of the moorland with the aim of providing an accurate and detailed topographical record of the surviving archaeological remains of the historic landscape within the study area. The Lidar survey would provide a baseline record of the surviving earthwork remains that would provide the Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service with a resource that could facilitate future management and monitoring of the cultural heritage resource of the historic farming landscape. The Lidar data would be available for public consultation and research.

设计注意事项

The site design has been reached through feedback from consultees and communities, w在这里 the locations of the wind turbines and associated infrastructure have evolved through an iterative design process to achieve a final layout sympathetic to environmental constraints and the surrounding landscape.
