The plans from developers Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn will be on display for two days in-person in early March and will also be available to view online on February 27.

The joint venture partners are committed to an early and transparent consultation so that feedback from the local community on potential social and environmental impacts, opportunities and potential mitigation measures can be considered in advance of an application being made.

The project and development team will be on hand at the public exhibitions to answer any questions local residents may have and to gather views on the proposal. The exhibition will include detailed information about the project including viewpoints and environmental and community considerations of the onshore cable routes.

Local residents are being invited to view plans for a new Offshore Windfarm located in the Central North Sea.

The onshore element of the proposed development will consist of up to 35km buried, export cable and substation, located near New Deer.

The dates, times and locations of these additional events are as follows:

March 1, 2-4pm and 5:30-7:30pm, at New Deer St Kane’s Parish Church Hall, Church Crescent, New Deer

March 2, 2-4pm and 5:30-7:30pm, at Longside Parish Church 12 Cooper’s Brae, Longside.
