East Merkland, Strathaven, Lanarkshire
Installation type: Wind Farm
Installation size: 13.5 MW
CleanEarth are proposing three wind turbines on Land at East Merkland, Strathaven, Lanarkshire, ML10 6RP.
The proposal has an estimated annual energy yield of approximately 44 GWh, the equivalent of powering over 12,000 South Lanarkshire homes. The project will save more than 9,400 metric tonnes of carbon annually, with a predicted lifetime saving of over 330,000 metric tonnes – making a significant contribution to Scotland’s carbon reduction targets to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2045, and the UK’s target to achieve this by 2050.
A public consultation will be held on Wednesday 22 November 2023 from 3pm to 7pm at Strathaven Hotel, Hamilton Rd, Strathaven, ML10 6SZ. Please note this is an open event with no appointment required. However registering your interest prior to the event is encouraged, via phone on 01208 895576 (ext 308) or by email.
The planning statement and supporting information will be published below. Comments can be submitted through an online questionnaire that will be available during the event and for 28 days afterwards.
