Loch Fergus Solar Project

The proposed Loch Fergus development is located on farmland near land at Loch Fergus farm, southwest of Coylton, South Ayrshire.

The proposed development will consist of up to 45MW of Solar and up to 40MW of battery storage.

We have applied to the Scottish Ministers for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct and operate the Loch Fergus Solar and Battery Storage Project.

Copies of the application, including plans showing the lands to which it relates and the supporting documents, are available for public inspection in person, free of charge during normal office hours at:
