Hollandmey Renewable Energy Development - Online Event

19th January 2021

Online Public Information Event: 20 January - 10 February 2021.

ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) invites you to participate in further public consultation on the draft proposals for the Hollandmey Renewable Energy Development (Hollandmey RED).

SPR is proposing to develop Hollandmey RED, situated approximately 8 km south-west of John O'Groats and 16 km east of Thurso within the north-eastern part of the Caithness area of the Highlands.

The proposed Development is planned to comprise ten wind turbines of around 5 megawatts (MW) each (maximum height to blade tip of 149.9 metres) and a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of approximately 15 MW, resulting in a combined generating capacity of around 65 MW.

A ground mounted solar array area is also being proposed.

Early consultation is key to developing our projects and, throughout the development process, we ensure local communities and stakeholders are given the opportunity to provide feedback and are

kept informed of project progress.

Given the restrictions requiring social distancing, instead of holding Public Information Days, we will be hosting a Public Information Event on the proposals online from 20 January until 10 February 2021 on the project website:

www.ScottishPowerRenewables.com/HollandmeyRED

The online Public Information Event will include information banners as well as visualisations to help to give an impression of what the proposed Development could look like from different viewpoints in

the area.

The Event will include a link to a feedback form through which comments and questions, as well as any requests for further information, can be submitted directly to the Project Team. If you have any questions or wish to make comments on the proposal, we request that these are submitted via the feedback form by 17:00 on 10 February 2021. Alternatively, you may contact the Project Team by emailing HollandmeyRED@scottishpower.com or writing to

If an application is subsequently submitted, normal publicity will be undertaken at that time and you will have the opportunity to make a formal representation then.
