    Appendix 6.1 Long list of cumulative projects considered within the EIA Report GoBe Consultants Ltd. March 2018 List of Cumulative Appendix 6.1 Projects 1 Firth of Forth and Tay Offshore Wind Farms Inch Cape Offshore Wind (as described in the decision notices of Scottish Ministers dated 10th October 2014 and plans referred to therein and as proposed in the Scoping Report submitted to MS-LOT in May 2017) The consented project will consist of up to 110 wind turbines and generating up to 784 MW situated East of the Angus Coast in the outer Forth and Tay. It is being developed by Inch Cape Offshore Windfarm Ltd (ICOL). This project was consented in 2014, but was subject to Judicial Review proceedings (see section 1.4.1.1 of the EIA Report for full details) which resulted in significant delays. Subsequently ICOL requested a Scoping Opinion for a new application comprising of 75 turbines with a generating capacity of 784 MW. Project details can be accessed at: http://www.inchcapewind.com/home Seagreen Alpha and Bravo (as described in the decision notices of Scottish Ministers dated 10th October 2014 and plans referred to therein and as Proposed in the Scoping Report submitted to MS-LOT in May 2017) The consents for this project includes two offshore wind farms, being developed by Seagreen Wind Energy Limited (SWEL), each consisting of up to 75 wind turbines and generating up to 525 MW.

  • Torness Monthly Report August 2017
    Torness monthly report August 2017 Introduction We are keen to hear the views of our local communities. We recognise that good communication is a two way process and we welcome your feedback and comments. While we will do our best to always use plain English, talking about our business sometimes involves specific terminology, and you will find a glossary of any terms used at the end of each monthly report. Safety • The station had zero lost time incidents (LTI) during the reporting period. EDF Energy staff have had 448 LTI free days (more than a year) up to 31 August and contract partners have had 1148 LTI free days up to 31 August – that’s more than three years. • The station had no emergency services call outs during August. • There were two first aid injuries at the station in August. • The station had no environmental events during August and has gone 2390 days without an environmental event (over six years). Station output Two flasks containing spent fuel were safely transported to Sellafield for reprocessing during the period. Both reactors were operational for the whole month. Station news Torness teams up with Police Scotland to improve road safety Torness power station and Police Scotland have been working hard to teach apprentices about the dangers of taking risks whilst driving. The station recently joined forces with Police Scotland to improve road safety by carrying out a number of road safety presentations. The Young Driver Early Intervention was aimed at educating younger drivers (17-25) on the consequences of excess speed and hazards associated with inexperience and bravado.

Following Marine Scotland Science (“MSS”) advice, MS-LOT consider that the most up to date and best scientific evidence available has been used in reaching the conclusion that any decision to approve the Hywind Development will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites concerned and are satisfied that no reasonable scientific doubt remains. Introduction This is a record of the Appropriate Assessment (“AA”) for the Hywind Development and associated offshore transmission works. The assessment has been undertaken by MS-LOT and MSS on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
