Glenburn/Auchincruive Bing site, Prestwick - Potential Energy Offtakers Information Session

SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL

GLENBURN/AUCHINCRUIVE SOLAR FARM DEVELOPMENT

NOTICE OF INFORMATION SESSION FOR POTENTIAL ENERGY OFFTAKERS

The Council is considering the development of a Solar Farm in Prestwick at the Glenburn/Auchincruive Bing site.

In advance of issuing a Prior Information Notice via Public Contracts Scotland the Council will hold a short information event online in November (date TBC) via Microsoft Teams. This event is aimed at commercial operations, businesses or organisations who may be interested in using energy generated from the site. The energy can’t be used by residents or sold to residents. Members of the public / community groups will have the opportunity to express their views at a later date. This event will give a brief summary of the proposals and information on the next steps for organisations who may be interested in the energy generated on this site. The event and further communications will be aimed at organisations who, in the opinion of the Council, represent potential energy offtakers of sufficient scale to make the project economically viable.

Interest in attending can be registered online using this form: https://forms.office.com/e/H7XCTdGqs7 or by contacting solar@south-ayrshire.gov.uk

All information collected within this form will be regarded as commercially sensitive and will be treated in confidence. All information contained within this form, and discussed at the proposed event, will be strictly non-binding, non-contractual and without prejudice on either party.
