- Comment
- This is the wrong proposal in the wrong place: too close to the river, too far into the flow country with a turbine and infrastructure in the Unesco site, too difficult to reach over a listed bridge and through a village all on single track, not integrating into a cluster. There is also a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS for short) proposed but it is not even marked on the site plan. Rather than answer questions the FEI Update has only raised more concerns.
UPDATE: The Highland Council has objected to this proposal and now we are waiting for a Public Local Inquiry which we expect to take place sometime in Spring 2025.
