MeyGen Tidal Energy Project Public Open Days
Submitted by Dan Pearson
9th June 2011
The MeyGen tidal energy project is a 400MW project in the early stages of development located in the Inner Sound, Pentland Firth. We are currently carrying out a consultation process in order to canvass opinion of which of the environmental impacts should be focussed upon in the Environmental Impact Assessment.
In order to compliment this process, we are holding a number of public open days in the region in order to provide a chance for the local community to find out more about our plans and progress.
If you would like to learn more, request transportation to or from the venues please feel free get in contact with us via our website, www.meygen.com or call us on our enquiries line 020 7193 1397.
We look forward to seeing you.
