Revised Proposals for Airigh Wind Farm to go on Show

Force 9 Energy will be holding a second Public Exhibition for its updated Airigh Wind Farm proposals on Friday, 24th February 2017. The Exhibition will be held between 1pm-7:30pm in the Templar Arts and Leisure Centre, Harbour Street, Tarbert (PA29 6UD). The Exhibition will outline the changes that have been made to the project design since the first exhibition in September 2016. These include a reduction in the number of turbines from 17 to 14. 

 

We will also be giving two presentations during the Exhibition; the first at 2pm and the second at 5:30pm. The presentations will provide an opportunity for Force 9 to explain the rationale behind the site selection and emerging design of the wind farm; and also to provide an overview of the financial and other benefits that the wind farm would bring to the local area, if constructed.  There will also be an opportunity to put questions to the project team regarding the revised proposals and the assessments that have been undertaken.

 

We received very useful feedback at and following the first Public Exhibition held in September, 2016. Detailed discussions have also been held with Community Council representatives regarding design, layout and access. These discussions, together with ongoing environmental studies, have helped inform the shape and design of the wind farm. We look forward to welcoming local residents and all those with an interest in the proposals to the second Public Exhibition on Friday 24th February.
