Abstract
SSE Renewables Developments (UK) Limited (“SSE Renewables” (SSER) is developing the Berwick Bank Wind Farm Project. In August 2020, SSER (via its project company Berwick Bank Wind Limited) consulted on an Offshore Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report for an initial Berwick Bank Wind Farm Proposal. The offshore EIA Scoping Opinion was received from the Scottish Minsters in March 2021. The initial Berwick Bank Wind Farm Proposal comprised one of two projects to be developed in Phase 2 of the former Firth of Forth Zone which included the initial Berwick Bank Wind Farm Proposal and the Marr Bank Wind Farm. The Marr Bank Wind Farm boundary was to be located to the west of the initial Berwick Bank Wind Farm Proposal.
