E.ON is encouraging the local community to have their say on plans for its proposed Inverneill Wind Farm.

The wind farm would be located south of Ardrishaig in Mid Argyll and could feature up to 24 turbines that together could produce up to 49 megawatts of electricity.

The energy company will be hosting public information sessions early next month, to give the local community the opportunity to find out more about the wind farm plans and share their opinions with E.ON's team of wind farm experts.


Public information sessions will be held at:

•Lochgilphead Community Education Centre: Thursday 7th February, 2pm-8pm

Manse Brae, PA31 8XQ

•Ardrishaig Public Hall: Friday 8th February, 2pm-8pm

Chalmers Street, PA30 8EY

Emma Clark, Senior Project Developer at E.ON, said: "We believe the Inverneill site is a good place for a wind farm due to the area's wind resources. This project is however still in the very early stages of development and these information sessions are being held to keep the local community informed about our plans and to give them the opportunity to get involved and share their comments and suggestions.

"We know people living and working in the area will have a wealth of knowledge about the site and we'd like to hear their views about how the wind farm can be improved. We're an experienced and responsible developer and will ensure that the local community have their views considered throughout the development of this project."
