- Comment
- This is a highly contested application with hundreds of objections and hundreds of letters of support. This latest design has 5 very high turbines and a BESS very close to Thurso. There are no details given about the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS for short). Considering the imminent danger of a BESS the lack of detail is very concerning.
UPDATE: An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Supplementary Environmental Information (SEI) has been submitted for the highly contested development. Representations can be sent in again.
