Written Question · S2W-26084 · Session 2
What the average density of consented wind generation kilowatts per square kilometre is in each planning authority area.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the average density of consented wind generation kilowatts per square kilometre is in each planning authority area.
The answer
As I advised Murdo Fraser inmy answer to question S2W-25204 on 24 April 2006,this information is not held centrally, but the following, based on a number ofsources, represents a reasonably comprehensive picture.
Can I also correct two textualerrors in my earlier answer, the first of which indicated that the Hagshaw Hillextension was in North Lanarkshire. In fact, like the original Hagshaw Hill wind farm, itis in South Lanarkshire. Secondly, the capacity ascribed to the Rothes wind farmwas incorrectly shown as 50.6 MW, rather than 56 MW. I therefore set out in thefollowing tables a corrected version of the previous tables.
