Seagreen looks to alter route of power cables from Angus offshore windfarm

Seagreen looks to alter route of power cables from Angus offshore windfarm

Renewable energy company Seagreen wants to change the route of its underground cables at a berry-growing farm in Angus.

The company wants to alter the course of the line that will carry power from its proposed giant £10 billion windfarm off the Angus coast.

The new route is at Balhungie Farm off the A92 and is being sought to avoid an area of polytunnels following feedback from the landowner.

A spokeswoman for Seagreen Wind Energy Ltd said: “The nature of the development which is proposed is identical to that forming part of the existing planning permission.

“It is only the route of the underground cables which will change.

“The proposed new section of the route would link to the overall cable route between Carnoustie and Tealing which is required to connect the Seagreen Alpha and Seagreen Bravo offshore windfarms to the national electricity transmission network.”

A public exhibition will be held on Wednesday from 4pm to 8pm at the Royal British Legion Club in Carnoustie to consult people on the proposal.

A planning application seeking the change in route will then be submitted to Angus Council.

Seagreen, a partnership between Scottish and Southern Energy and Fluor Limited, is seeking consent from Marine Scotland to erect up to 150 turbines in two separate windfarm developments off the Angus coast.

They would each have a capacity of 525 MW and accommodate up to 75 wind turbines and supporting infrastructure of subsea cables, offshore substation platforms and meteorological masts.

The firm says the project would create up to 700 jobs.
