Muirhall Energy, the developer of the proposed Teviot Wind Farm, located eight kilometres southwest of Hawick in the Scottish Borders, has made significant changes to the project plans in an updated submission to the Scottish Government. The developer is now proposing 53 turbines, down from 62 in its original application, and a new wind farm layout.
These changes will result in reduced visibility of the project, and the company has also removed proposals for a solar array. The changes follow extensive public consultation and feedback from consultees such as NatureScot on the company’s original application, which was submitted in May 2022. The wind farm’s capacity is expected to be around 350 MW.
