Repowering Crystal Rig Wind Farm: It’s your chance to view the proposals at two events in March
_(1)_(1).png){kind=logo}
Residents are being invited to view the plans for repowering Crystal Rig Wind Farm in two specially-organised drop-in events.
Leading independent renewable energy developer, Fred. Olsen Renewables is encouraging people to take part in two drop-in events being held in March - and to learn more about how the company is exploring the potential to repower the earliest phase of Crystal Rig Wind Farm.
Julie Aitken, the Senior Project Manager at Fred. Olsen Renewables said: “Repowering Crystal Rig helps to demonstrate just how far wind farm technology has progressed.”
The plans involve the removal of 25 existing turbines and replacing them with ten taller turbines.
It’s your chance to give feedback on Crystal Rig project
Crystal Rig is a complex of four separate wind farm developments about 11km south of Dunbar in East Lothian and 16.5km north-west of Duns, in the Scottish Borders.
The oldest phase, Crystal Rig I, has been operational for over 20 years and Fred. Olsen Renewables is exploring the opportunity to repower and utilise better, more modern, technology at the site.
Residents are encouraged to attend the forthcoming events, where they will have the opportunity to meet with members of the Fred. Olsen Renewables project team, examine the visual representations of the project and provide their valuable feedback.

The events scheduled to take place are:
Monday March 3, from 4pm-8pm, at Longformacus Village Hall, Duns Road, Longformacus, TD11 3PB
