Teviot

The proposed Teviot Wind Farm is located approximately 8km south-west of Hawick. 

This proposal has been revised, Additional Information was submitted to the Energy Consents Unit, reflecting a new 53 turbine layout, with a maximum tip height of 200 m giving a total installed capacity of approximately 350 MW. This layout reflects the comments received on landscape, visual impacts, and historic environment after removing and relocating turbines.

Community Investment Fund

Once the site is operational, the Community Investment Fund is launched to further support communities throughout the lifetime of the project. For Teviot, an industry-leading £7,000 per MW is being offered, which equates to an annual fund of nearly £2,450,000, and approximately £98 million over the lifetime of the windfarm.   

Shared Ownership

Muirhall Energy are also offering up to 10% ownership of the proposed development to the surrounding communities, which if secured, should result in a substantial increase in community revenue available for local investment.  

Community Involvement 

Muirhall Energy will place work with local contractors who tender within 10% of the best quote for any work on the project. Local tradespeople have already refurbished the former Post Office in Hawick to an exceptional standard and this building now serves as a point of contact for all Muirhall Energy’s projects in the south of Scotland. A Meet the Buyer event will be held prior to construction to give local businesses an opportunity to learn more about the proposed development before submitting tenders.
