EDF plans to develop 100 MW wind farm in Lammermuir Hills

EDF Renewables UK, a renewable energy unit of the French EDF Group, plans to build a 100 MW wind farm on moorland in the Lammermuir Hills in Berwickshire, Scotland. 

Surveys and assessments will be undertaken during 2022 and will examine the potential to develop a wind project in the area. A scoping process with the goal to determine the content of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in support of any future planning application has been launched by EDF Renewables UK for the potential scheme sited on land owned by Roxburghe Estates.

The proposed site of 100 MW Dunside wind farm is on moorland approximately 1 km east of the existing Fallago Rig wind farm, enabling the use of the existing access infrastructure and grid connection. Up to 20 turbines, each with a tip height of up to 260 meters, will be considered for scoping the EIA but the final design will take account of feedback from local people and others and the environmental information gathered for the EIA.
