Residents and businesses were encouraged to attend the second public exhibition for the proposed Binn Solar and BESS Farm on land 4km northwest of Strathmiglo and 5km northeast of Glenfarg, in Perth and Kinross.

The event took place on Wednesday 8 October, from 4pm to 8pm,  at Glenfarg Community Centre, 9 Greenbank Road, Glenfarg, PH2 9NW. For those who could not attend in person, an online event will be held on Monday 13 October, 6.30-7.30pm.

Bin Solar and BESS Farm will comprise around 30MW of solar energy and 6MW of battery storage.

The project will generate the equivalent renewable energy required by over 15,400 homes, and will supply power directly into the grid via the Abernethy substation. It complements the Binn Ecopark initiative to bring new green companies and investment into the area by providing a strong foundation of renewable power.

Neil Lindsay, managing director of BLC Energy, said: “Feedback from local people and stakeholders has already helped us update our proposal. “We had over 40 members of the local community visit the second exhibition.   It was very beneficial in that we were able to update them on the surveys and assessments that have taken place, and how we’ve incorporated people’s suggestions.
