E.ON Urges Community To Comment On Proposed Wind Farm

E.ON is encouraging the local community to have their say on plans for its proposed Dalchork Wind Farm.

The wind farm which is in the very early stages of development would be located to the north of Lairg.

The energy company will be hosting public information sessions early next month, to give the local community the opportunity to find out more about the initial wind farm plans and share their opinions with the E.ON team.

Public information sessions will be held at:

Lairg Community Centre

Main Street, Lairg, IV27 4DB

Tuesday 12 March and Wednesday 13 March 2pm-8pm

Rob Mackay, Project Developer at E.ON, said: "We identified the site after Forestry Commission Scotland awarded us the right to explore the potential for new wind energy projects in the Highlands, and see Dalchork as a good location due to the area's wind resources.

"This project is however very much in the early stages of development and these information sessions are being held to keep the local community informed about the current status of our plans and what the next steps could potentially be, so they can feed into the project from an early stage.

"People living and working in the area will have a wealth of knowledge about the site and we want to work with them to ensure that we understand and consider their views during the development of this project."
