We receive and determine planning applications for wind turbines and wind farms up to a 50MW capacity.
These applications are dealt with by the planning authority under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts. Applications for wind farms greater than 50MW are dealt with by the Scottish Government's Energy Consents unit via a Section 36 application under the Electricity Acts.
