Lees Hill Renewable Energy Park – An overview
Since 2022 we have been undertaking a range of public consultation about our proposals to develop Lees Hill Renewable Energy Park. In response to the feedback gathered locally, alongside the results of our technical assessments, our plans have changed.
This has resulted in the number of turbines being reduced and refining the area for solar installation.
We submitted an application to the Scottish Government in April 2024. This can be viewed in our document library or on the Scottish Government portal.
