Experience Expertise Office Location Consultation

Welcome
Welcome to this public exhibition of our wind farm proposal. It contains important information about our plans
including visual material to show what the wind farm may look like from several viewpoints.
This is part of an on-going consultation process with members of the local community and other interested
parties, which will continue up to the submission of a planning application and beyond. If you have any
questions about our proposals, please approach a member of the ABO Wind team who will be happy to help.
We hope you find the information presented here today informative and helpful.

ABO Wind’s first operational UK wind farm
is a three turbine development in Lairg,
Sutherland which has been operational since
January 2012. This is located on the common
grazings of the Lairg Estate and includes a
sizable crofting involvement in the project.
It’s important to us that communities
surrounding the site are involved early
in the development process, so that
suggestions and concerns can be taken
on board. We hope that local residents
will become involved in our wind farm
proposal.
The Benefits of
Wind Power
Onshore wind is a mature and relatively low cost renewable
energy technology with a large supply chain already
established and capable of making a large contribution to
the progress of Scotland’s renewable energy target.
Addressing Climate Change
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since
the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented
over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have
warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea
level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases
have increased.”
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – Climate Change 2013 The Physical Science Basis
“Climate change is the single greatest long-term threat to
people, wildlife and our environment. In Scotland, we need
to prepare now for the impacts of a changing climate and
understand the best ways to adapt our society, economy and
environment.”
RSPB – Helping Nature to Help Us, 2013
UK Policy
Climate change is recognised widely as the most serious
environmental threat facing our planet. UK policy in this area
is set through the Climate Change Act 2008. This reflects the
Energy Policy for Europe established in 2007 which sets out
the EU’s vision for Energy in the period to 2020.
The UK Climate Change Programme has set targets required
by the EU, whereby the UK has committed to a reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050, relative
to 1990 levels.1
Targets
The Scottish Government’s policy framework for addressing
climate change is the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009.
This mirrors the UK target of reducing emissions by 80 per
cent by 2050, but with a higher interim target for a 42 per
cent cut in emissions by 2020.2
The Scottish Government has committed to a target for
renewable sources to generate the equivalent of 100 per cent
of Scotland’s gross annual electricity consumption by 2020.
Achieving this target would help Scotland play a leading
role in tackling climate change, increase energy security, and
create an important renewable energy sector supporting
thousands of jobs.3
The 2020 Routemap for Renewable Energy in Scotland states
that the Scottish Government is committed to the continued
expansion of onshore wind farms to help meet renewable
targets. “Our ambition is that by 2020, onshore wind
developments ranging from small community-scale to large
power utility scale maximise engagement with communities:
contribute electricity to renewable targets: and, through
displacement of fossil fuel generation, help to reduce fossil
fuel consumption.”4

How Does a Wind Turbine
Produce Electricity?
Wind turbines harness the power of the wind and use it
to generate electricity by converting kinetic energy into
electrical power. The output from a single turbine will vary
depending on wind speeds.
Converting Wind into Energy
Wind Turbine Generator
A look inside the nacelle
The system controller processes
information from the measuring
devices and determines an appropriate alignment of the rotor.
Nacelle of a Senvion 3.4M turbine
The
wind hits the rotor blades and causes the
rotor to turn.
The gearbox increases the
speed by a factor of 50 to 100.
The rotor shaft transmits
the motion of the hub to
the gearbox
rotor blade
The
kinetic energy is transmitted from
the hub to the drive shaft; from there to the gear box,
which increases the rotational speed. Finally, the power
is transmitted to the generator. There are also gearless
turbines transmitting the kinetic energy directly to the
generator.
Getriebe

The motor rotates the
nacelle into its optimal
position to the wind.
The generator converts the rotational motion into electrical
energy.
Like a gigantic bicycle dynamo, the generator converts
the kinetic energy into
electrical energy.
The hub transmits the
rotational movement of the
rotor blades to the rotor
shaft.

The power is then transformed from low voltage to
energy grid
medium or high-voltage electricity and fed into the grid.
Power Output
substation
The main components of a wind turbine are the tower,
nacelle and three blades attached to the hub. Put simply, the
energy in the wind turns the blades around the hub. The hub
is connected to a generator via a drive shaft, which creates
electricity when the blades spin.
The load factor of a wind turbine is the ratio of actual energy
produced in a given time, compared with its full potential
(rated capacity). A typical turbine is expected to generate
approximately 20 to 40 per cent of its theoretical maximum
output over a year. The average load factor for wind turbines
in Scotland from 2000 to 2013 was 27.9 per cent.1
The power output from a wind farm depends largely on the
strength and constancy of the wind blowing across the site.
Wind turbines start to generate electricity at a wind speed of
approximately 4 metres per second (m/s) or 9 miles per hour
(mph) with output increasing up to their maximum rated
power at a wind speed of about 15m/s (34mph). If the wind
speed reaches 25m/s (56mph) the wind turbine shuts down
automatically.
The proportion of time that the turbines will be generating
electricity is therefore dependent on the time that the
wind speed is between 4m/s and 25m/s. Generation output
from a wind farm is also seasonally dependent, such that
approximately two thirds of the total annual energy yield
from the wind farm is expected to be delivered in the six
months between October and March.
The electricity generated from a commercial scale wind farm
such as our proposal would feed into the national grid.

Green Burn Wind Farm
ABO Wind is considering the submission of a planning
application for the construction of a wind farm on land at
Shieldrum Farm approximately 11 kilometres north west of
Alyth and 5 kilometres north east of Bridge of Cally.
Proposed Development
Site Description
Site Selection and Site Attributes
Proposed Turbine Layout
The site is located within the local authority area administered
by Perth and Kinross Council and is immediately adjacent to
the existing Drumderg Wind Farm. We have built a strong
relationship with the landowners and tenant farmer to ensure
that the wind farm would be workable and effective for
farming. If consented, the wind farm would provide a regular
income to facilitate further investment in the farm.
The site has been identified as suitable for wind energy
development due to:
The turbine layout for the wind farm proposal has not
yet been finalised. It will depend on the outcome of our
environmental assessments, consultation programme and
further data analysis. We are committed at all times to
working to create layouts sympathetic to local viewpoints
where practicable.
Good wind resource;
Availability of connection to the national grid;
Good transport infrastructure around the site; and
The site is located in a ‘Broad Area of Search’ for wind energy developments as identified in Perth and Kinross
Council’s Supplementary Planning Guidance for Wind Energy Proposals in Perth and Kinross, dated 2005.
Proposed Development
The proposed Green Burn Wind Farm would consist of up to
11 turbines with a capacity of up to 3 Megawatts (MW) each.
The turbines would have a hub height of up to 80m and an
overall tip height of up to 126.5m. The area within the red line
boundary covers approximately 267ha.
Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2011
A wind monitoring mast was installed on the site in August
2014 and results so far have been encouraging, indicating good
average wind speeds.
Ancillary development would include access tracks,
underground cabling and a small control building housing
transformers and switch gear to connect the wind farm to the
national grid.
It is currently anticipated that a 33kV buried cable
connection will be possible at the Coupar Angus substation,
approximately 18km from the site.
Output
The total installed generation capacity of this scheme
would be up to 33 MW and, at that size, if the wind farm
performs as well as the Scottish average, it could produce
electricity equivalent to the demands of approximately 17,533
households*
Decommissioning
Typically, wind farms operate for 25 years. At the end of this
period, the wind turbines will be decommissioned, taken away
and the site restored to a condition required by Perth and
Kinross Council.
*Based on a load factor of 27.9% (Unchanged Configuration Load Factors, Regional Statistics, Renewable Statistics, DECC 2014) and domestic
electrical consumption per household of 4.6MWh/a (Energy in Scotland 2014, A Compendium of Scottish Energy Statistics and Information,
Scottish Government, Feb 2014.)
Green Burn Wind Farm
Plans
Environmental
Impact Assessment
We are currently undertaking an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), a formal process
to identify and assess the effects a development may have on the environment. The findings
of an EIA are reported in an Environmental Statement (ES) which will also outline how the
assessment process led to the final project design and addressed any potential adverse
environmental impacts.
Environmental Receptors
Noise
Mechanical noise from modern turbines is considered to be
almost undetectable.1 The main source of noise is from the
‘swoosh’ of air passing over the blades. The sound of a wind
turbine from 300 metres away is similar to the sound level
inside a typical living room with a gas fire switched on.
There is strict guidance on noise emissions from wind turbines
to ensure the protection of residential amenity. A noise
assessment for this proposal is being undertaken, including
background noise monitoring at properties near to the site.
Noise generated from wind farm construction activities will
occur only for limited periods of time and working hours will
be controlled through planning conditions.

Landscape and Visual Amenity
We will undertake a Landscape and Visual Impact
Assessment (LVIA) to determine the potential effects of the
proposed development on the existing landscape character
and visual amenity. Designated landscapes and wild land
within the 35km LVIA study area have been identified as
follows:
Cairngorms National Park;
Cairngorm Mountains and Deeside National Scenic Area
(NSA) and Lochnagar NSA (within Cairngorms National Park);
River Tay at Dunkeld NSA;
Loch Tummel NSA;
Wild Land Areas; and
Gardens and Designed Landscapes listed in Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Scotland’s Inventory.
The proposed wind farm site is outwith any nationally and
locally designated landscapes, although it may be visible
from elevated areas within the Cairngorms National Park and
River Tay at Dunkeld NSA. The proposed site lies within the
‘Highland Summits and Plateaux’ landscape character type.
Twenty six viewpoints have been selected for inclusion
within the LVIA in order to undertake an assessment
of landscape and visual receptors. To help select these
viewpoints, consultation has been undertaken with Scottish
Natural Heritage, Perth and Kinross Council and the
Cairngorms National Park Authority. Feedback from these
statutory consultees resulted in the inclusion of viewpoints
from the A93, A923 and summits of Ben Vrackie, Beinn a’Ghlo,
Dreish and Kinnoull Hill.
The viewpoints have been selected to be representative of
both landscape and visual receptors and therefore include
locations in different landscape character types, designated
landscapes and wild land as well as key settlements, popular
summits and long distance recreational routes such as the
Cateran Trail and heritage paths.
The five viewpoints exhibited today have been chosen to
reflect closer distance views of the proposed wind farm from
locations close to the places where the public exhibitions are
taking place (Bridge of Cally, Blairgowrie and Alyth).
The cumulative landscape and visual effects of Green Burn
Wind Farm in relation to all operational, consented and
proposed wind farms, as well as larger single turbines, within
the study area, will also be considered in the LVIA. The key
wind farms with which the proposed Green Burn Wind Farm
is most likely to result in cumulative effects include the
operational Drumderg and consented Tullymurdoch wind
farm, which are located to the south east of the proposed
wind farm, and the single turbine located at Corb.
The design and layout of the wind farm is a key part of the
development process. Through the iterative EIA process, our
aim is to create a layout which:
reduces visual impacts on local views, particularly from
surrounding residential areas;
relates to the scale and landform of the site and
surrounding area;
relates to the operational Drumderg Wind Farm as well as
other nearby operational and consented wind farms;
creates a compact, relatively coherent array in views from
the surrounding landscape; and
takes account of other environmental and technical
considerations.
To view a computer generated visualisation of how the
proposed wind farm may look from a certain viewpoint,
please ask a member of our team. We are able to generate a
3D wireline model of the wind farm from viewpoints as far
away as 35km, based on bare ground (i.e. with no screening
effects such as vegetation or buildings).
Environmental
Impact Assessment
Environmental Receptors
Ornithology
Ecology
Cultural Heritage
Surveys of breeding and wintering birds
(undertaken between May 2011 and July 2012,
and from March to August 2014), did not
record any regular movements of migratory
species (such as geese and swans) across
the site, and we believe the site is not on
any important migration routes. A limited
number of wintering birds use or pass over
the site, and it is not of high importance for
any wintering species.
Most of the site is of an open, upland nature,
with habitats dominated by dry and wet
heath and acid grassland. There are small
areas of flushes, blanket bog and raised bog,
often modified by activities such as grazing
and burning. There are also small areas of
conifer plantation and birch, hazel and
willow scrub. There is sheep grazing
throughout the majority of the site. The Dun
Moss and Forest of Alyth Mires Special Area
of Conservation (SAC) site which is also a Site
of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is located in
the north-east corner of the site. No turbines
would be located within the SAC. No turbines
would be located within the SAC/SSSI.
Results of initial desk-based research and field
surveys indicate there are sixteen recorded sites
of historic environment interest within the
development boundary of the proposed wind
farm site. None of these sites is a nationally
significant scheduled monument provided with
statutory protection.
The site holds a number of lekking
(traditional place where male birds assemble
during the mating season) black grouse,
a Tayside Biodiversity Action Plan Species.
Turbines will be sites to avoid lekking areas,
and a habitat management plan will be
prepared to consider protection for this
species of conservation concern.
The upland nature of the site provides
habitat for some breeding waders (curlew,
lapwing and oystercatcher). Skylarks also
breed throughout the site. No Schedule 1
(species with extra protection) birds of prey
have been recorded breeding, but there have
been occasional records of species such as
merlin, osprey and short-eared owl passing
through the site.
No badgers or water vole were recorded on
the site. There is otter activity along both the
Drumturn Burn and the Green Burn/Leapit
Burn.
Six different bat species were recorded
utilising the site at low levels for foraging,
mainly towards the watercourses and
woodland edges. No bat roosts have been
recorded on the site.
The known location of sensitive species and
their habitats is being used to inform the
design of the wind farm.
The evidence recorded is typical of this part of
Perthshire. Of greatest interest archaeologically
are those sites which relate to the remains of
the later prehistoric landscape. During the
Bronze Age, cultivation and human occupation
were able to exist at higher altitudes due to the
climate being more benign than today. Once
the climatic conditions deteriorated, the Bronze
Age sites would have been abandoned for lower
ground and never meaningfully reoccupied.
The best examples of this Bronze Age landscape
have been recognised through scheduling, for
example the settlement evidence near The
Corb, to the north of the proposed development
boundary. Those remains which have been
identified within the development boundary,
though none are scheduled, are nevertheless of
interest and value and include what appear to be
the remains of a large kerb cairn, a series of round
houses, which may be the vestiges of dwellings or
other structures
associated with farming and a number of field
clearance cairns which, if they are of Bronze Age
date, presumably relate to arable practices and the
presence of field systems.
Remains of later activity are also present within
the boundaries of the proposed wind farm
development site, in the form of cultivation
remains, small huts (or shielings, structures
used for human occupation during the
summer pasturing of stock on higher ground
in the Medieval and post-Medieval periods)
and enclosure banks. More recent activity is
represented in the form of a disused farm on
the very edge of the proposed development
boundary, together with a series of partly ruinous
dry stone walls that enclose former fields.
Given the presence of these remains, there is
potential that further, as yet unrecorded, buried
archaeological remains exist. However the area
has been the subject of intensive field survey by
RCAHMS archaeologists already so the majority
of what survives in upstanding form will have
been identified by them. Equally, the potential
for unrecorded buried archaeology is perhaps
lower than might be the case in a more lowland,
heavily cultivated location, where ploughing
often reduces archaeological remains to subsurface features.
Environmental
Impact Assessment
We are currently undertaking a detailed assessment of the ground and groundwater
conditions at the site as part of the EIA to consider the potential effects of the wind farm
construction, operation and decommissioning on watercourses, on habitats that are
dependent of surface or groundwater (like peat) and local water supplies. This will inform
the wind farm design and identify any required mitigation measures.
Environmental Receptors
Geology, Hydrogeology and
Hydrology
The majority of the site is underlain by Glacial Till. Two
areas of peat lie within the east of the site (east of Hill of
Kingseat and Saebeg). Alluvium deposits associated with the
tributaries of the Drumturn Burn are present in the northwest
of the application area. Bedrock is exposed at or near surface
towards the south of the site around Hill of Kingseat. The solid
geology underlying the superficial deposits across the region
comprise of metamorphic rocks.
The solid geology is classified by the Scottish Environment
Protection Agency (SEPA) as a low productivity aquifer
characterised as containing small amounts of groundwater
in near surface weathered zones and fractures. Little
groundwater will be present in the Glacial Till, which
characteristically has low permeability. Near to watercourses
it is likely that the alluvium contains groundwater which is in
local hydraulic continuity with the streams.
The site falls within the catchment of the River Tay, a
Freshwater Fish (Salmonid) Protected Water which is also
a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). A number of small
watercourses, which form tributaries to the River Tay, rise
within the application area and nearby.
Telecommunications and Aviation
Wind turbines, as with any large structure, can potentially
interfere with electromagnetic signals. Consultation with
telecommunications operators and aviation stakeholders
are being undertaken as part of the EIA process to ensure
that any potential effects are fully assessed and to ensure
the continued safeguarding and operation of existing
infrastructure.

Socio Economics
Traffic and Transport
Construction
Decommissioning
The impacts of the proposed wind farm on
economic activity, land use and amenity are
currently under examination.
The main transport impacts will be
associated with the movements of HGVs
to and from the site during construction.
To establish the baseline situation, traffic
counts on the existing local roads have been
obtained.
The construction of the wind farm
would take approximately 12 months.
The proposed route for deliveries is to be
agreed with the Local Authority, Trunk
Road Authority and Police Scotland.
On completion of the operational lifetime
of the wind farm, which would typically
be 25 years, the wind turbines will be
dismantled and taken away and the site
restored to a condition required by Perth
and Kinross Council.
The development, if consented, would
represent a significant investment in the
local economy by ABO Wind, creating the
opportunity for both direct and indirect
economic benefits within the local
economy. During the construction phase
for example, there could be a wide range of
sub-contract opportunities for specialists in
plant hire, civil engineering, cabling, fencing,
building works, road building and quarrying.
ABO Wind intends to maximise the use of
local labour sources and suppliers.
Contracts will be put out to tender and
we will be holding ‘Meet the Buyer’ events
to introduce ourselves to the local supply
chain.
Local businesses could also benefit from
increased spending from the construction
workforce during the construction period.
A transport impact assessment is underway
to assess constraints to development in
relation to traffic and transport including
traffic volumes, restricted road widths,
vertical alignments, weight limits and
height limits.
Delivery of turbine components would be
intermittent over several weeks, timed to
minimise impacts on local traffic.
Additional HGV traffic during construction
includes:
Movement of staff and machinery to site for preparation works;
Delivery of road aggregate in the event this cannot be sourced from the site;
Delivery of concrete, fuel and other materials.
Community Matters
ABO Wind encourages the communities surrounding Green Burn to get involved in the wind
farm development process so that suggestions and feedback can be taken on board. Before
you leave today’s exhibition, we hope you have time to complete one of our Feedback Forms
about the project.
Community Benefit
Construction Period
Community Benefit Fund
It is proposed that the access for all construction traffic to the
Green Burn site will be taken from the C446 road via two new
access junctions to the southern section of the site. The site
access tracks will utilise existing improved and new access
points from the public road.
Over the past decade, local communities across Scotland
have benefited tremendously from financial contributions
from wind farm developers. These community benefit funds
have supported a wide range of different types of projects.
Examples include the provision of new leisure and recreational
facilities, supporting existing community facilities and local
energy efficiency projects, such as insulating homes and
community buildings to reduce heat loss.
The large turbine components, namely towers, blades and
nacelles, would be delivered with a police escort. Heavy goods
vehicles accessing the site during the construction phase of
the development would cause the main increase in temporary
traffic during the construction of the wind farm.
Prior to the construction phase of the wind farm, ABO Wind
would establish a liaison group to ensure that the concerns of
local people are incorporated into a traffic management plan.
At our operational Lairg Wind Farm in the Highlands, we
were in regular contact with local community bodies about
traffic issues and other concerns. Newsletters were issued to
local residents to keep them updated about the construction
process. We would work towards a similar relationship with
the local community at Green Burn.
ABO Wind is committed to contributing an annual
payment of £5,000 per MW of installed capacity. With a
proposed generation capacity of up to 33MW, this means
the wind farm could make an annual contribution to the
community of up to £165,000.
Lairg Wind Farm Opening
How Would the Funds be
Distributed?
Core to ABO Wind’s approach on community funds is
carrying out extensive consultation with local community
representatives to determine the use of the funds to meet
the needs of surrounding communities. The key aspect is that
decisions about how the money should be used would be
made by local community representatives.
ABO Wind has started discussions with local community
representatives through a Community Liaison Forum (CLF) to
address how the fund would be split and distributed. We also
encourage all visitors to this exhibition to give us their views
on the best way of distributing community funds and indeed
any local projects that would benefit from such funds.
